umberella.

One of our regular readers tells me that when recently returning from holiday in Turkey, she was allowed to take her umberella on board the plane whilst being prevented from boarding with orange juice. This happened on the occasion she boarded the plane in Turkey and at a later plane changeover with the umberella only getting a very cursory inspection..

Given the current security climate I find this rather surprising. Does anyone else remember the fate of the Bulgarian dissident, Georgy Markov back in the eighties ?.
