Nowadays don’t most ACMs use air bearings and therefore offer little likelihood of contamination?

The person who is involved welcomeaboardtoxicairlines.com refers to a colleague that has suffered immeasurable damage. This colleague is rumoured to be his wife and they tried something very similar in Australia. After a recent article written in the Mail I note he used a fictitious crash to support his argument, which I hardly feel is credible journalism.

Could it therefore be assumed that there is actually an element of scare mongering and hysteria surrounding this? Appreciated that we are looking at machines that will have componentry failure, so there is a risk – but is it as prevalent as reported?
