I'm currently sat in Leeds/Bradford Airport reading yesterday's remarks by Sir Mota Singh QC, a retired judge who's apparently stated that Sikhs should be allowed to carry their ceremonial daggers in public places, and wondering whether he's thought about how this assertion might apply to air travel since even nail files are on the banned list?
No exceptions are proposed in the BBC article, but it does describe a case where a boy was banned from wearing his Kirpan (dagger) at the Compton School in Barnet, and that even though the school offered to compromise by offering "the option of wearing a smaller knife, welded into a metal sheath" the boy's parents declined and removed him from the school; causing me to wonder what would happen if they (or their son) wanted to fly?
