Just a minute; a pax,on the ground, jokes about a gun he isn't carrying in his bag and he's carted off in chains and everyone cheers. A pax on board an aircraft is caught smoking and then utters anti-Americanisms and becomes disruptive, so the aircraft returns for a landing, and this is an over-reaction. We aren't allowed to take forks and knives in our nav-bags but we are allowed a nice big crash-axe with us in the cockpit.
I don't wonder if the terrorists use this site just to play with everyones sanity.
