I know what you're saying, and it was quite interesting the list of things we came up with talking about it (quietly of course) at the Patio lounge what one could do with even simpler things, but we'll leave it at that. Controlling a heavy casserole with the eye to do bodily harm and/or break open the cockpit door (just building up the moment in itself) in a cramped plane beats me, but security have their guidelines and I guess they are there for a reason...
What bugged me the most was the persons inability to speak anything but French and just gave me the cold shoulder when he clearly saw I didn't fully understand what he wanted me to do

This was my first bad experience at either BOD and/or CDG combined so I shouldn't be complaining...
