Stu, What I meant was. That the events of the other week, plus 7/7 & 9/11 do more than just disrupt those particular places on those days. What they do is to create an atmosphere of panic and distrust. Should anybody want to it would be easy to "pretend" to be a terrorist which then causes disruption to everybodies daily lives.
If a terrorist organisation wanted they could take advantage of this by dressing people up to look "funny" or "dodgy" and cause panic such as has happened on this flight. It would take alot of effort to disrupt pretty much any flights into and out of any country.
Therefore surely the atmosphere fear of hysteria we have at the moment is down to percieved threat, which is what the people on the flight mentioned were reacting to. Rather than actual threat. Which could be directed attributed to the events of the other week and that fact that theres still a high level of security in place at airports at present.
