This is one the most absurd statements I have ever read and very telling of Matt's beliefs. I believe its OK to be over the top when it comes to safeguarding a weapon of mass destruction - which is exactly what a flying airliner could be. Do you really believe you need to wait before someone is flying an airliner into a crowded building to decide that he should not fly? Are you KIDDING???
Democratic check on security agencies. I live in the US. Yes lots and lots of checks. What do you call all the court actions?
Should any company act on information that government officials refuse to put in writing?
If I'm on the flight - OMG YES!!! If its only you on the flight - be my guest!
