It's only 30 minutes folks.
I don't care whether it's 30 minutes or 3 minutes. The rule made absolutely no sense when it existed.
Now, the rule does not exist but some idiot pilots are making up "security directives". When this happens, people tend to ignore ALL "security directives" because they know at least some of them are false.
I wish it was a serious crime to make up security directives.
