What the #%$@& is going on with airport
security
Being a reasonable and caring individual I want to know just
who is the cretin or cretins running airport security in this
country.
For goodness sake we've had all this crap verbiage about
how security is going to be tightened and everything will
be x-rayed before people get on planes - and yet we still
have passengers with weapons on our flights.
The latest episode - following on from the full-on attack
a few weeks back - involved a chappie allegedly having a Stanley
knife on board a flight from Sydney to Cairns.
Now the guy, apparently wasn't doing much other than tapping
the thing on a bulkhead (which is annoying enough if done
for too long) however, the point being how did he get a knife
on the plane if security was so good?
The terrorism risk to airlines is very real and I hope someone
is getting their bigger-than-their-brains bottoms kicked severely
from all quarters.
All passengers have an absolute right to expect that those
droobs who monitor baggage and check people at the security
gates actually know what they are doing and do so properly.
Mind you, I tend to get a bit grumpy on planes and unless
gently soothed by free-flowing gins and tonic am likely to
tackle a would-be hijacker myself. It is amazing the sort
of force and power a 50-kilogram body can generate!
Now that reminds me. How'd you feel about being the guy who
allegedly attacked the crew the other week. Imagine having
to 'fess up to someone - that you got beaten up by AN AIRLINE
STEWARD. Oooo weeeee, sure makes me quake.
