Sorry - I wasn't accusing you of being a wet-behind-the-ears tub-thumping pinko - it's just that with the murder of thousands in the US at the hands of terrorists, the UK took very reasonable precautions given the uncertainty prevailing at the time. The restrictions were lifted as soon as they could be and we should be grateful for that.
What exactly is your beef? I wasn't allowed to conduct flying training for a while either and my company lost revenue as a result, but we were back up and running as soon as the very understandable restictions were lifted in accordance with re-assessment of the security situation.
