Furthermore the way to protect terrorists from taking control of a commercial airplane is to seal the cockpit doors so the bad guys cannot get in. Are there any valid arguments against this and why hasn't it been implemented? Why is there talk about arming pilots when this much simpler and less risky measure hasn't been done yet?
I fly a lot, and the whole system is a big
bonus to the security companies. It doesnt really
make flying more secure, it just makes people
feel better. If you really wanted security, then
you must know the passengers. That is easily
done, as Continental has miles of records about
me. Why dont they just look me up in their database,
and they wont need to ck me again. I am a gold, they
know where I live, and who my family is. A terrorist
wouldnt leave a trail like I have.
All this security stuff misses the point, as far
as I am consirned. It is just setup to make
people feel save, not to BE save.
