Cannot believe (yes I can), that our lucky country has "researched" "best international practice" ( or HAVE they?) on the planet, and YET AGAIN selected the worst option. Will not enter the debate re;- "trained killer" verses "psychopath" pax. ( although with the "new" 35 year old "white rat" lunchbox), I can understand a new version of "boxaphobia"...bringing new standards to criminal behaviour in the air.
ENOUGH.
WE DO NOT NEED ARMED "SKY MARSHALLS" OR ARMED PAX ON AIRCRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
STOP them BOTH before they board. Perhaps, if the APS can be involved in being "Sky Marshalls", they MAY? even be adaptable enough to to trained in REAL airport GROUND security.
Probably won't happen though, as a friend, who is a bit of cynic said the other day, " they are still not screening pax and bags in a lot of US airports.......NOT enough money in it". !!
Just hope "Rambo" is not sitting behind me and the good lady whilst we are on annual leave travel with his "UZI" pointed at my ****. Rubber bullets my arse, I'd rather have the screaming dribbling "rugrat" who seems to always travel in the seat behind me when we are passengers.
In an alumnium pressurized tube, GUNS ARE DUMB.
STOP THE PROBLEM BEFORE THERE IS ONE............
ON THE GROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
