But its not its only AVIATION AVIATION AVIATION. That is where this whole thing is wrong and where our industry is being loaded with unfair costs and slowly destroyed.
But aviation has often be at the forefront of thoughts on terrorism....simply because it has been the victim of many attacks in the past. Lockerbie saw 270 people dead, 9/11 was pretty 'high profile', then we have Richard Reid, then in the summer of 2006 we are told a major disaster involving up to eight aircraft was narrowly avoided. Pop concerts, the tube or whatever have had their attacks and scares but nothing like aviation.
It is highly regrettable but really not surprising that aviation continues to be a focus.
We shouldn't forget though improvements that have been made in commercial aviation security and the overall reduction (or at least shift to other targets) in aviation related terrorism that they have brought.
