If you travel outside the country, you notice the difference in the way security people behave. In Europe, they actually engage you in conversation rather than running through a fixed process. There's also a lot fewer people, but at first glance at least they appear a lot better educated and trained. Throwing vast numbers of not very well trained people at a problem may not be the best approach. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

It would be a lot better if, every now and then, they'd let some random passenger shoot one. Kind of an upgrade. |

They allow small scissors for cutting yarn for those of us who crochet during the flight. Perhaps they allow bomb construction and firearm cleaning for those who find that relaxing during the trip. |

They should let them bring damn near anything on now. I can tell you I don't give a damn what a hijacker has these days the guys on the plane are going to take them down. 9/11 killed hijacking forever. |

Not to worry. A musician I know, was once asked why he was carrying an Arabian Oud in his in flight baggage rather than an American one. |
