WHBM and Bomber Harris, obviously you have never been involved in real security or the real military as you would understand the term lateral thinking. And yes i'm ten years old. Thats ten years of keeping myself alive in my previous employment as 'you never know' has kept me on this mortal coil more than once.
Over reacting has saved lives on may occasions. Not appropriate but people are alive still because of this.Yes the pax need to get off quickly but a hand written note was probably left on the aircraft by someone on board as the cabin crew would have or should have picked this up during security checks. So the authorities on the ground would have to detain all on board until they were satisfied that the culprit wasn't a pax on board and to set up a cordon or holding area with the manpower required does take time.
You stick to flying as you know nothing about security operations do you both???
Maybe it's time you grandad's left the kids computer alone.
