Well I'm very happy to live and learn, but as for "Please go away" the answer is a polite "no". Regardless of my background, it's been interesting to see the differences of opinion regarding potential security threats and the means to deter them. You probably think I'm being unrealistically pessimistic about the situation and to be honest, I hope you're right. Trouble is, you need more than just hope. And for the pilots (for whom I did express my respect, if you remember) it's worth saying that of course you actually are the most important person on the plane. But for that reason, rather than security checks being more cursory, they need to be more thorough. At least in m opinion.
