I fear that our illogical and expensive farce of airport security is here to stay, how can the Government now justify losing so many jobs?

A risk assessment should be commissioned: Is the time, inconvenience and expense justified, bearing in mind the statistical probability of being caught up in a terrorist attack? How much more likely are we to be killed or maimed during our journey to the airport?

Whilst in no way trivializing the deaths of the 3,000 people lost in 9/11, what exactly is being done about the 20,000+ lives lost on British roads alone since then?

Perhaps we could re-train our venerable security staff to be driving instructors.

How does a yoghurt help you fly?

It's called nutrition. If you aren't sure how the system works, try stop putting stuff into that hole in the front of your face for a couple of months.

Not all airlines provide crew food.

Sorry, as I do not live on yoghurt, as obviously pilots, according to you, seem to. The rest of us took something else through to eat when they stopped the yoghurt's. That helped us survive a 12 hour shift...
I do think that the rules stink as obviously you are just as dangerous with a Banana.
