Stay Home In Nudawadding
Of course, of course, of course, it's all very unpleasant for everyone concerned (i.e. all who fly where everyone else wants to fly - unlike where I fly - as remote from all external threat as you can get) - but just take a wee raincheck before being too precious in a post.
And also acknowledge for once how absurd it is that the little old lady from Nunawadding with her pacemaker and new knees and hips is strip searched while the man with the big black beard walks straight through.
If you want to read fatuous crap from an airline executive re security, search PPRuNe Amanda+Virgin Blue who was mouthing off her glib stock phrases last week after a little stunt by the ABC TV program Chasers' War Against Everything. The truth is NOTHING will stop the cunning operative. He will wreak his harm no matter what obstacles are put in his way. If you want to be fear free, get another job, stay at home or come and work in the Australian Outback - it's not a convict colony anymore. Real characters are everywhere, whoever's buying.
