Too Few Stripes
I gave you a reason why pax may have been contained on an aircraft. And as I said, unpalatable though it may be, thats a valid reason. Why? Because its better then a possible alternative. You really ought to realise, that what ever the Police 's reasons in the 2 cases recently, they probably arn't happy about it either, but, they were the ones in possession of the available facts, or were gathering them, not us.
Another alternative is, either the Police, or the airlines threat assessors considered there not to be a threat or danger. But again, we don't know that is, or is not the case.
The issue here isn't what happened, because it's over now, but isn't it about time that the Mil, airlines and Police got together and sorted out who does what and why? That way, we wouldn't have to have this discussion again.
