I'm glad that where your working everyone follows the rules. But in most airports the sups do what they want as you can tell from the posts on here. Telling him to confront the sup with the prohibited items list is only going to make it harder for him. I would recommend that you put them in the checked luggage and avoid all the bulll at the checkpoint.
