security
With all this talk about terrorist plots and terrorism threats today, why have the government not thought about making sure that the airports today are safe. Look how easy it would be to smuggle a gun on board. All you would need is abot 5- 10 people to be in on it and you would have a problem. Give a gun to one person who could be a truck driver or cleaner, they would have it in thier belt or strapped onto their leg and walk on board, leave it in the toilet. Another person in mid flight would go get it and then use it and the public would wonder why this happened. When will the government think about this.

AT453 Cabin crew are required to carry out multiple searches of their aircraft prior to departure, whilst I am sure it is possibe to get a gun onboard an aircraft, I don't think it would be quite so easy.
And secondly to that AT453. Do you think telling the world on the internet how easy it could possible be to carry out such a barbaric attact, potentially killing hundreds of people, is such a wise thing to do? Please use your knogging!!!!!

All I am saying to people out there is that it can be a possibility. Look at the United States, did they not have just metal detectors and such prior to the attack on the world trade center. Surely it shos that all the security and all the precortions that are taken by the government that it showed that it was possible.

Oh, right.............like the bad guys haven't already thought of that one without reading Pprune. 
Running round in circles, clucking loudly and repeating "The sky is falling, the sky is falling" does not, in my view, constitute an effective response to the threat of terrorism.
A threat which, I might add, we in the UK have faced on a daily basis since the 1970s and not just since September 2001.
In this situation, paranoia is every bit as dangerous as complacency.
