RE: I Give Up !!!

Yes, prevention is better than cure.

But at the same time, a disproportionate amount of effort is being put into the “war” against smokers, no doubt because they form an axis of evil under divine guidance from Osama, Saddam and the Ayatollah.

I’m not a smoker (it annoys the hell out of me) but in my opinion, security is a bit dodgy these days and air safety needs a good look at. So why focus all that brainpower on smoking when there is ATC to sort out? I’m sure faulty ATC causes (certainly, has caused) more deaths. Crap security has too. Even, dare I say it, mistakes by pilots.
