Having passed through Heathrow and Gatwick on several occasions over the
last 25 years it is simply impossible to avoid having one's carry on luggage
xrayed unless of course one chose not to travel. Creating a scene or getting
abusive with the $5 an hour security people would more than likely lead to
arrest and prosecution. These people are not paid to exercise discretion.
