If he was carrying a knife, how did he get it on the aeroplane?
Very good question. What was his intent?
Of course it is totally and utterly over the top. Life in prison? For this? Seriously....
At what point is a hijack a crime that is worth punishing people for?
Do you wait for a passenger to be stabbed before you think 'well, actually, I think life imprisonment is justified'?
Next time you go flying as a passenger just walk up to check-in and when you are asked the 3 questions reply, jokingly: 'No I didn't pack this suitcase myself, I don't know what's in it exactly - only that it's a bomb!!!'.
See what the reaction towards you is then and report back whether you consider the 'punishment' is "totally and utterly over the top ... For this? Seriously..."
I wonder how many of the contributors are flight or cabin crew - because if you are I'm surprised at the content of the Posts?!
