That is what I said, I believe some are back on Aircraft, I can only assume that someone figured there was more danger from a fire than from a hijacker????

However most, if not all, WERE removed many years ago, I did quite a few myself and the ER/EO whatever it was? said reason was to prevent them being used by hijackers.

The same would apply to any sort of spray you speak of, or as I mentioned before a weapon accessible to the cabin crew?

Equally, IF one was wanting to hijack an Aircraft, which I am NOT, I would think the same effect would be available by using one of the portable cabin fire bottles. So will we ban them too, and just hope there are no cabin fires????

Very tough where you draw the line????

See where some Airlines have banned all metal cutlery, only using plastic, but again where to you draw the line? Some of those metal ball point pens would make a very lethal weapon?????
