| | Congratulations on your article, I quite enjoyed reading it and feel that Governments and Airlines are overreacting to potential terrorism.
The CEO of Air New Zealand was interviewed on television last Thursday and happened to mention that in the past couple of years the worlds Airlines have lost money to the extent of all the profits ever made by that industry.
In my opinion the reason for that is all this security nonsense.
With my business activities I have been required on 3 occasions this year, to venture 1000 or so miles South of Civilisation to the City of Dunedin, New Zealand.
On the last occasion I flew with Air New Zealand and was astonished at the mindless and unnecessary security proceedures before I could get on the plane.
As if any Islamic Terrorist would waste their time bombing Dunedin of all places!
The two previous flights to and from Dunedin were with the delightful Origin Pacific Airways.
Instead of an army of stupid security personnel, Origin Pacific at Dunedin Airport has one staff member standing around looking bored.
At the appropriate time she announces, (between yawns), that everyone should board the flight.
We passengers do so, the plane takes off back to Auckland (and civilisation) and surprise, surprise we survive.
