Please remember that all this so called 'improved' security post SEP11 is primarily to protect us, the PIC and his F/O, from unlawful interference.

Also, the terrorists we are up against are highly motivated, intelligent and well trained and if anyone thinks that the recent changes in security procedures (a la LAGS etc) are actually going to stop someone blowing up an aeroplane then you have your head up your proverbial desk bound A##

The crap about binary explosives is just that .. Anyone with some very basic chemistry can tell you the outlined scenarios are fiction.

It is all just more scaremongering to keep the population as a whole afraid thereby providing bureaucrats the opportunity to further limit our freedoms.

Get real folks. The bad guys have won.

Now just let my colleagues and I get on with the task of safely piloting thousands of people around the globe.
