Re: X-RAY altert at GATWICK

So far I have found Aberdeen (ABZ) the worst airport ever to traverse. 
Actually on my last US trip I was shocked at the laxity at security. 
Maybe we in UK are going a bit far at times, but in general we feel
secure on flights.

I sat beside a young minister on one flight in the US.  When I told him
that it was very bad luck to have a minister on a ship he nearly freaked
out and certainly never spoke further.  This is a very old tradition
among fishermen.  If you met a woman or a minister on the way to the
dock you simply did not sail that day.
