Maybe but I see it a little like the idiot who streaks at a cricket match, the hooligan at soccer matches etc, they are part of society unfortunately. We cannot lock them all up but we can prevent them from flying.
My point is that the airlines, the airport owners, god knows they charge enough and for what, are equally responsible as the drunken idiot for letting him on the aircraft. Lets look a little further than a drunken POHM who at the end of the day was harmless just pissed and see what is happening at airport security. Nothing!
Security is suposed to be at its highest, yet he has no trouyble getting on, some x copper boards a flight in darwin with a knife just to prove a point, i personally had an idiot playing with a knife on board an aircraft, what do these security people look for apart from nail cliipers. aircraft will only be safe when they get it right on the ground.
IMHO until they employ competent and well trained security we have no idea what is in the cabin, let alone what is in checked in baggage. Just a facade for the general public and our ever vigilant newspapers. NOT
