I have been hoping that many of the more way out security procedures that have been implemented since 9/11 were the result of a somewhat understandable over-reaction and that sanity would finally prevail. There is no sign of this happening. The people making the rules seem to be totally incapapable of thinking through the implications of the rules they impose.
For example, the US is insisting on reinforced doors on all aircraft entering US airspace. Obviously these doors can be unlocked only on the inside. Thus, when one pilot uses the blue-room etc. the other pilot is now in sole control of the aircraft and the first pilot is securely locked out.
Can anyone spell EgyptAir?
