I learned something today, I always assumed the black box was near the flight deck!!

Not that it changes anything but if you look closely isn’t the first shot an Airbus and the receding shot the 146? If so it is worse than you thought!!!:mad:

A bit like most films where characters seem to take off from an airport in one plane and land in another!

Nice to see the local on TV!

The Daily Mail are reporting that the Citation was hit by the jet blast from the CRJ-900 and was damaged due to the extreme heat. They also just say that the plane was being tested by Flybe engineers not that it was owned by the airline. Members of another high profile forum are guessing at a LH owned aircraft!

OK! You’ve talked me into playing!!

I think it definitely would contravene civil liberties even if as Mr Livingstone suggests that the shock part of the bracelet would not be enabled! The shock part would bring about real issues with being made to wear something which could cause you real pain if someone decides to use it against you,. Would they also put it on elderly travellers going to Detroit to visit relatives or small children on the way to Honolulu on vacation? I don’t think so!

As for the tracking element of the bracelet I can see how much easier it could make airport officials job if you do go missing and/or are late for you boarding, however there must be privacy concerns here with airport officials who you don’t know at all being able to see exactly where you are going about an airport and supposedly you cannot switch it off. If these full body scanners which supposedly produce an indecent image of you as you pass through them and therefore (supposedly) violate child protection laws I think there will be some privacy concerns with this bracelet, especially if it is fitted to children!

I was going to PM a couple of mods with a suggestion for change if that’s what the mods are currently working on. On one other major forum I frequent the mods are elected every 6 months or so with mods always being able to run for re-election. This way mods have to remain popular with the masses or else they get kicked out by the election of the masses. Each forum’s mod team is elected at a different time of year so that the whole forum does not change mods at the same time. I am not fully aware of how the Key Pub forums work so I don’t know if a mod election system would really work on here. Also I am aware that many mods may feel an added pressure to their job having to keep up a a good “public relations” image as well as moderating! There are of course a small number of Administrators on the forum who mod the mods who do not face elections, they however do not take an active moderating law, they are more of an appeal court with mod’s decisions!

I hope this suggestion helps but I know it could be totally inappropriate for this forum.

I am told from a friend also active on this forum that a high profile mod has walked away from the forum. Is this true? 😮
