MY family, comprising my wife, daughter and I, went through the security check at KLIA for flight MH12 to Manchester on July 1.

The person manning the scanner asked me to remove a pair of small scissors from the toiletries bag placed in the hand luggage.

He should be commended for being alert and having detected the small implement.

When I asked him when I could retrieve the confiscated scissors, he shot back, "I will only give you this scissors if you get out of that door where you came in from." What kind of response is that? Is it the standard answer prepared by his department? To my mind, any item confiscated from the public should be itemised and the owner shall be asked if he/she needs the item back.

A form shall be duly filled out as proof for future retrieval. This was clearly not in place that day.

I refused to be dragged into any verbal sparring with the officer despite the insult, for he was in uniform.
