RE: Overreaction regarding safety measures?

The Airline business and flying in generall is so fantastic, It’s a shame that it is constantly stilted by terrorism. Commercial jets have always been a top target.

I think the air marshall idea is probably more a deterent and confidence renewall plan. But basically, up in the air is too late. The security must happen on the ground. Come on, with todays technology, we must be able to deal with this. Surely there is a fool proof method which could be adopted within airports to stop any untoward items from getting anywhere near a plane. We’re not talking brain science here, are we?.

I don’t think you can over react regarding safety. Improved safety is always good, and I hope it goes on improving. What is a shame is hysteria caused by such events. The 1000’s of job losses within the industry is a victim of this. The suffering of the airlines is drastic, and it does seem to have been blown out of proportion. B.A’s 7000 job cuts is excessive. I believe the main culprit of this hysteria is the press. I haven’t brought a paper for the last few weeks because I dont agree with buying somthing that has the intention of inducing panic.
