I accepted the original ban as an emergency measure at the time of the discovery of the plot mentioned in Post #15, but the longevity of the ban & its spreading to flights from Australia in 2007 do constitute bloody idiocy IMO.
BTW, Ozstamps, even if the 15 y/o incident in Whughes3's Post #9 is irrelevant to the current situation, it still disproves your statement of "not one person ever..."!
