Conductor criticises air security

BBC News Article

"UK security measures that prevent musicians from taking instruments on board planes as hand luggage have been criticised by a leading conductor...

...An early casualty of the restriction was New York's Orchestra of St Luke's, which cancelled an Edinburgh Festival concert and a BBC Proms appearance.

And Russian musicians returning from London after the Bolshoi Theatre's season in the capital had to travel overland on the Eurostar via Paris to fly home....

..."I think we would all agree that the time has come really to put an end to this unfairness," he added.

I think it's time to put an end to all this unfairness and stupidity that was introduced by some half-witted oaf or oafs who couldn't secure a paper sack.
