Cool

Just arrived in this evening. Our security source at the airport indicated that it was in fact the intention to do a number, despite what is now being claimed, and protestations to the contrary. It is being downplayed heavily by the authorities.

I am slightly taken aback at the overturning of the Stanstead hijackers sentences, not a good message to send. When is a hijack not a hijack ?????

Mike J I beg to differ there have been numerous incidents of incursions into the cockpit. In the past it was the thinking that one co-operated with the hijackers. The rules have changed and we may well have a situation where you would like something more than a cup of tea to protect yourself with. I certainly would. Your Wyatt Earp comment would seem to be a bit of the kettle calling the pot black?!
