After reading Velveeta's post regarding yet another airline incident where ME's are acting so strange; I was thinking of a good response. Thanks MamaDearest...you have given a perfect summation.
Dept. of Homeland Security has various warnings, etc., and yet when someone has serious concerns and reports an incident it seems that they are treated like idiots!!! I just wonder how many other incidents like this have been reported and not followed-up by condescending authorities! The two that I know about are only because the people involved felt so strongly about their encounters that they put them out into the MSM....otherwise we would not know about these occurances and their unacceptable outcomes!!
The airlines have us by our throats. If we choose not to fly when multiple MEs are boarding the same flight, we may not reach destinations for days. Hotel and/or auto reservations also affected, possibly at higher rates so we "ACCEPT" policies and procedures that may cost us our very lives. The flight attendants read the seat belt and evacuation procedures on each flight while the most certain danger we face these days on an airplanes is not readable on a placard inside the seatback. It is visible to OUR eyes, but invisible to those charged with airline safety and security.
The airlines and the security agencies know full well that sooner or later one or more of these flights will crash or be exploded. By doing nothing after they have been told repeatedly planes are being surveiled and terrorists are being readied, the airlines and these agencies must accept full liability not only for loss of life but incompetence and inaction after having been forewarned about incidents set forth by so many passengers.
