Please bear in mind that the so-called and pathetic post 911 FD security regulations were, on the main, introduced by the paranoid UK and US administrations. The rules apply to carriers of those countries and foreign carriers when overflying those countries. A great many countries have no such regulation and continue to allow FD visits at the Captain's discretion. PPRuNe is populated by a majority of Americans and Brits who seem to think that UK and US security regulations apply to the entire world. They don't - unless, as I already mentioned, operating to/from/overflying those countries.
