PERCeiVED THREAT??? We all know that PAX visited the flight deck on numerous occasions prior to 9/11 probably into millions if the truth be known over decades.
Have people changed NO! Has our perception of a threat changed BIG TIME.
Do not forget that the security industry is a massive multi billion $ industry forever looking out to add more security procedures to increase their industry all under the veil of protecting you and I from a tragic end.
Go onto the London tube system on a busy friday night and watch thousands of passengers dragging large cases which could be packed with all sorts of explosives and all manner of everything completely unchallenged by anyone.
Do they put their cases through scanning equipment? Do they remove liquids? NO they stream into those tube trains in equal numbers to any airline totally unsupervised.
Is the threat there less? NO NO NO!
Fact is any security on the tubes even minor would bring the system to a grinding halt. The authorities know that so turn a blind eye but avaiation???
A massive multi billion $ industry and we have all been brainwashed into the way we think nowadays.
