This morning Captain's tiny Philip's Head screwdriver was stolen, I mean, confiscated in MEX. As luck would have it, his eyeglasses did fall apart while signing the security sheet. For some reason MEX seems to pick on Captains. My be some sort of a "respect my authority" game of Simon Says with their AVSEC.
