No more sense of humour and proportion either.

Does anyone think that what the guy did was so bad? Would you like it if your son lost his temper over his mate doing something like that? I don't mean on an aircraft, I mean in a relative sense?

How many hijackers have been foiled by the increased security after Sept 11?

How many people have felt offended by the obtrusive and offensive nature of security personnel and procedures?

Doesn't matter eh?

Treat people like criminals and you'll get what you're looking for.

You'll also alienate quite a few of your customers while you're at it.

To all those who think that what he did is offensive, how much safer will you feel by sending him to prison? Will it serve your sense of justice?

Don't we want to stop the real terrorists?

Am I nuts or has the rest of the world gone mad?
