galley covering easy to cut ....
Hi Mech,
Yes - several operators have this hatch covered with lino... but have you ever tried to get a small wall paper cutter ( round circular cutter - like a pizza wheel ) thru security ? Not a problem as plastic handle and wheel the size of large coin.
Unless the covering is cut proof or resistant then these can easily be brought on board ( they are no prohibited item as not a sharp blade under the size defn.
a few seconds alone in the galley and presto , once again into the system under the floor, the p210 power circuits, back plane powers sources and AIMS etc etc ... just saying that a bit of research shows all this up as still pretty vulnerable... WJA
