I have a secret fear that the first may happen, mainly as a result of giving in to pressure. Even though I have not experienced it on US bound, US carriers, look how other countries have had to provide 'extra' security as the 'request' of the US. And look how flyover data has to be provided...
But I also know that after a very long period of violence, war, and terror, the vague threat of airline terror will hopefully not be enough to override the Basic Law. Then again.... it happened already once this century, at the 'request' of 'friends'.
I won't claim to be smug about this; there is still a chance that we will have to give in eventually, no matter the results of the findings.
