Aviation- Tranquility & Hysteria

Caring and calming about aircraft and aviation security these days?

Consider:

- Cost & effectiveness of airline passenger screening (passenger screening or ridiculous passenger screaming regulations)
- Perils & problems of passenger accessible carry-on baggage & articles
(the US TSA banned certain carry-on lquids &gels this am ... the UK in heightened security bans all carry-on articles save wallet & passport on UK carrier originating & domestic flights in security pinches (todays BBC News above)
- Security of parked, stationed aircraft (like securing the building or stadium against constant bomb threats)
- Airport security in question (see US Department of State for specific airports at risk lists) - different countries differently assess aviation risk.
- Hold government to account in anticipation and scrutiny of risks
- Consider what can be brought on board that would harm passengers or aircraft in flight
- Aircraft structural security (ie what can explode and damage a plane in flight -- including size considerations)
- Hostage-taking risks inflight - & consequenes of that extotion, including crew cabin access

- Find out how much time is spent relaying 'danger' and 'risk' information and how speedily it can be forwarded to necessary parties. (If your Prime Minister is vacationing in the Caribbean, is the 'tip' or risk warning delayed in communication to another country's government byreason of waking or contacting the vacationer? - Explained otherwise, are Americans supposed to have a British MI-5 or Scotland Yard mind-reader so as to share information?)

Again, hold professionals who make this a daily PAID affair for themselves to account. Please do it.
