Funny how times have changed.
It's not so long since the US flying public wouldn't get into a feather bed if there was a sniff of a war or threat to security. Is there a case of terror fatigue on the other side of the pond?
The loads on TA don't seem to be affected that much despite all the negative publicity. People appear to feel unthreatened, why? Do the public trust the agencies issuing the warning?
If a flight had a specific terrorist threat why re-route all the pax? Surely the threat is now just moved to another flight.
There seem to be two possibilities:
1: There is reliable intelligence about a very real and imminent threat;
2: This is merely propaganda promulgated to create a more favourable arena for a certain individual;
To be honest I'm not sure which is more sinister.
