lol, but just saying -you're giving the definition of incompetent as opposed to stupid. Stupid would refer to them being of low intelligence unable to make decisions whether work or non work related. You're just saying they are incompetent at their jobs since they aren't able to make correct decisions since what can or cannot be accepted is a black and white issue, they could err on the side of caution because they are incompetent or they could be competent and just make correct decisions. So they aren't stupid they are just incompetent then.

Whatever. I doubt that job pays very much or comes with extensive training, and you get what you pay for. My philosophy is that if I stay way back from that admittedly fuzzy line between acceptable and unacceptable, I won't have problems. It works. All I really need on the plane is a book, some music, and my camera. I carry on other expensive and/or hard to replace items that are well away from the fuzzy line - no liquids, tools, knives, batteries, anything that could be used as a bludgeon... and I breeze through.
I do have to retract one thing though; it's not true that I have never been relieved of anything. I just remembered that about ten years ago they took a large carabiner from me. It was worth a couple of bucks. I hope someone found a use for it, but I didn't lose any sleep over it. It wasn't my favorite carabiner.
Just flew out of Cozumel on Sun Country.
Check-In counter had a sign saying no "diving lamps" in carry on baggage.

Two weeks ago one of our group had several batteries confiscated (but not all his batteries) but did not find out until he landed after the first leg of his flight that his wife's prescription sunglasses and 2 dive computers were also missing. The batteries he gets and were discussed with him- the rest were stolen.

These were taken from his carry-on at CZM. Long story but they had a very short time to get to their plane, so couldn't check everything as they left. It was noticed when they landed at their first stop after leaving CZM. They had family still at the airport when they landed so alerted them, and they spoke with the head of security in CZM. Items were not found.
