Why not make them all wear orange jumpsuits and hoods and chain their arms and legs together?

I hope no one from RyanAir is reading this.

They could just ban hand lugguage, purses, etc, unless you are willing to have it forensically examined for a small fee.

They could just ban flying. That would probably sort out global warming as well.

The way carbon footprints are calculated are bollox.
The facts are:-
(new) Aircraft are in fact very efficient and per passenger mile more efficient than a single person in a most motorcars.

A motorcar with a driver and a passenger is more efficient than a bus.

A car with just a driver is more efficient than a train with only 25% full.

On a more serious note:

I recently flew back from Rome and was horrified that security found a camping knife in my rucksack, after a few apologies and leaving the knife behind I was allowed to proceed. BUT why wasn't it found at EMA when I flew out.

BTW I left it in by accident in one those secret hard to find pockets.

Decompression incidents are not uncommon on military and civilian aircraft (approximately 40–50 rapid decompression events worldwide annually[17]), however in the majority of cases, the problem is relatively manageable for aircrew.[11] Consequently where passengers and the aircraft do not suffer any ill-effects, the incidents tend not to be notable.[11] Injuries resulting from decompression incidents are rare.[11]

One of these nutty, islamic jihad types only needs to get lucky once to blow 200 - 300 people out of the sky.
