Eclan = Dilettante

The point of all this is that crew screening in Australia is generally out of step with crew screening world wide.
The assertion that a Qantas Captain is going to jeopardize the safety of his own aircaraft is nonsensical.Even more so that he/she would do it with a can of tuna.
This is much like the little boy who had his toy soldier confiscated by a screener because the toy soldier had a gun.The soldier was 10cms in height.
Screening for crew is theatre for the public.Nothing more despite the protestations of a few dilettantes
