I absolutely agree with you apaddyinuk. A dagger is a dangerous weapon & should not be allowed on board in any part of the world, more so in the ME where there is no limit to madness, absurdity, hypocrisy & the list goes on. One just cannot predict what this sheik might do, & not too long ago this very sheik was roaming the desert. With all those instincts very much alive in him, who is to say when he`ll go berserk! I also remember vividly, the Arabs have very low flash point. Man…. have I seen visual displays & boxing matches on highways in broad daylight!
I concur with the Captain`s decision & exactly my sand too. Btw, how did this mad man get by security. Ohhh….I forget, it the old wasta at play again.
