A summary of the report, released today, said domestic flights of fewer than 90 seats with unscreened passengers and carry-on baggage were a high-risk area.
Drunks, people with a metal illness and those holding an excessive grudge posed the biggest threat on domestic flights.
The threat of terrorism was found to be "very low".
The summary said greater screening of crew and carry-on baggage would be the best way to increase security.
Do these numptys have a clue?
Drunks, Grudge holders and those with mental illness pose the greatest threat, so you're going to increase screening for Captain Smith and FO Jones, so that they will be unable to bring on those ever so deadly screwdrivers and pliers they require in the course of their duties?
The story does continue on to suggest strengthening cockpit doors on all aircraft (This is a good idea, but wouldn't this be prohibitively expensive, particularly B1900/Jetstream size which don't have one to begin with?), "security committees at airports" (to talk about security and do not a lot) and "enhanced training and education for airport workers".
I agree something needs to be done, but a report full of such mindless drivel?
