If all pilots did the same, we would not have to stand in line for security checks and take off our shoes.
Good move Delta, I will fly Delta from now on

Red Chief wrote: There was a dispute with EL AL recently in Russia. EL AL insisted on presence of two guards with guns on every flight of the airline but according to Russian regulation, people with firearm on board are not allowed. As a result, Russia canceled flights of EL AL and the dispute goes on. I don't know how EL AL resolves similar issue in other countries.
event horizon wrote:Well, in that case, don't you think the Russian authorities had an exaggerated 'fear' for armed security personnel?
I also have heard from someone who lived in Russia for a few years - when Chechens were blowing up apartments - that the police in Moscow (or St Petersburg) would 'racially' profile any person with dark hair and eyes.

At Amsterdam airport it seems ELAL is allowed to do EVERYTHING (security wise) what they deem necessary.
kanelli wrote:By the same logic some of you are using, people walking down the street should cross to the other side if they see a black or hispanic person, because lots of crimes are committed by gangs comprised of blacks and hispanics. All blacks and hispanics should be treated suspiciously because they could be a danger to others. But that wouldn't be bias would it...
