    Would you feel comfortable, what with the recent troubles?

    Also the new security measures means no metal object of any kind unless for medical reasons and numerous random searches my police on passengers which have lead to delays of up to 1 and a half hours in some cases.

    Right ho here you go. I'm just after flying back from the states today and I did a bit of flying around while over there. Just to give you an idea I got into San diego, CA the Friday before all this happend. I had flights booked to San Jose (Silicon Valley) for the following Friday with United and those flights were cancelled (I was pissed at that as I was going to visit me sister). The following Tuesday I had flights booked to Las Vegas with Southwest these flights left without a hitch. The increased security was nothing really cause what you have to remember is that in the US you could check-in at thet drop off point and there was sweet F all security they have basicily incrased there security to the same as we have and not even that I checked my girlfriend in with out her even being at the desk???. Metal detectors and a couple of Questions. The only thing that happened was on the way back some fupper took me carry on bag and swabbed it for chemicals. Ther was on real delays so to speak of. As for the metal on your carry on that is really anuthing that could be used as a weapon (razors/scissors/knifes/nile files) Hell Delta have stopped giving metal cutlery and you now have plastic knifes and forks. I wasn't any more nervous about flying as anytime you fly you take a risk.
