I wonder how many people ever say, “Well, I’m off to [important event] and I can’t find a suitable tie… but it’s okay, because I can get one on the way! Thank heavens for Tie Rack™!”

Hi! I did that when I lived in London, a couple of times.

when have you ever seen security do a random stop-and-search on a man wearing a tie.

Hi! Me, travelling back from Frankfurt a few months ago. The guy in front of me in the swab-everything-in-case-they’re-made-of-explosives queue was in a suit.

That said, if you’re suggesting calling for a ban of ties on planes (“Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking ties on this motherfucking plane!”) then I’m 100% behind you.
