The flight from Stansted to Poitiers takes about 80-90 minutes so we can get from England to our home in no time at all.
As usual you had to put your hand baggage in to a tray, empty your pockets, remove belts etc, but with the new machines you don't have to remove your laptops from your bag.
My bag went through but was pulled in to the detailed search line. The security guy was looking at the scan results and then asked me
'Can you please tell me what is in your bag sir'
I then went on to list the contents
'Macbook, iPad, Kindle, Headphones, Filofax.......'
I then saw the look of surprise on his face when I mentioned a Filofax. Clearly it was showing up a little strange on his monitor of the scanner.
The tray with my bag was now in front of him and then he asked.
'Can you please show me your Filofax, I remember them very well.'
I pulled out my A5 Lockwood Zip, and unzipped it to show him the interior and the rings which had showed up on the scan....
We then chatted a bit about why I still used a Filofax and I pulled out a Philofaxy card and gave it to him. He was quite surprised and thanked me.
