ZL,

Any reason why he should?

Letting people who make threats on board aircraft because they are a) frequent flyers and b) mental cases is, in my opinion, a reasnoble topic for discussion, as in WTF was QF thinking!!!

Qantas claimed he was a frequent flyer and well known to staff, who deemed the threat unlikely and believed that he had mental issues.

Oh, thank god for that! Because only a sane person would ever want to interfere with a flight, right?!?:confused:

We had some jerk joke about having a bomb in his bag a month ago.....he appeared in court last week. These bone heads need the book tossed at them. The look on the guys face when the fuzz arrived was priceless.:ok:

Whether staff did or didn't know the guy is not the issue in my opinion. What is more important is sending out a clear message to other potential nutters that they don't know.
