Reading through an article today I wonder if it is really wise to panic so many people with the statement that Australia is definitely to come under terrorist attacks.
"aviation authorities have called for heightened awareness from airport operators and pilots. They have been told to be on the alert for anyone suspicious who tries to rent or charter planes from small airfields or enrolls as a student at flying schools". This is bad news for the Aviation industry in Australia which has already lost Ansett. Competition is low, with Quantas running the show as both a traditional carrier and low cost airline. Now with approval to buy high stakes in ANZ...

The specific aviation request from ASA comes after Dennis Richardson, the country's head of intelligence, said he was certain that Australia would come under terrorist attacks.

It is good to be on guard, but aren't we all already?

That should narrow the field somewhat.:eek:

By the way, even if you are from Dublin please note the spelling of QANTAS.
