Capt PPrune,
It would be nice to think like El Al, but somehow I can't see it. Can you? At most airports that I visit,work amd play,I can see the kind of security that just pisses every one off for no good reason, as an example- taking things from the pilot that might bring an aircraft into danger, like a small pair of plyers,nail scissors etc,It is laughable, and we all know how to beat the system anyhow.
Security is a luxury that we don't really have in the Euro- field, sounds like it is the same in the U.S.
The point we are making, re- flightdeck guns,is that it is a last resort,and would I believe,increase pax confidence,and safety.And help our industry recover quicker.
