There will be no more 9/11 style attacks if these become the norm. It's not much of a terrorist attack, bumping a big balloon harmlessly into a building over and over again

Splendid stuff. Here at Tester Manor we applaud all efforts to herald a return to the halcyon days of luxury overseas travel, and this is a most encouraging effort.
