Every time someone decides to sneeze on a flight and the pilot decides to play it safe and call in the air force CNN & Sky blast out the "breaking News" and the financial markets reel; oil prices rise and equity markets fall. If the objective of Al Queida and their cronies is to terrorise they are doing a bloomin' good job.
I can only see "flying with strange objects" as a very expensive passtime, if not impossible and despite our good intentions airlines really won't give a damn. For the time being I am limiting my CCR travel to car driving distance ie Europe only.
