Spiff,

Not the only solution, but like many other problems, it takes a mixed bag of counter-measures. I'm a natural cynic and I do not believe that any country's security measures provide total safety in the air (or go any way near it) but I'm still prepared to support the effort being made.

Some comfort, I suppose, to know that the hour-long queue through Security, the rummaging through my luggage, the number-crunching checks on my booking details, all meant that my plane-load was completely free of weaponry. Just as the handheld rocket-propelled grenade slams home on take-off.

Is someone wants to take a plane down, they will, but surely we must all work to make it as hard as possible for them?


Thanks for the welcome(s), by the way. Believe me, I come in peace!
