LOS ANGELES (AP) - An American Airlines pilot made an unscheduled landing Sunday after crew members found a box cutter left on the plane by a catering employee.

It is my opinion that anyone who chooses to fly in the current climate fall into one of three categories... Fools, terrorists or employees and the lines of declination seem muted. Airline companies are unable to both provide quality service and customer safety. If I ever fly again it will be too soon.

Airline companies are unable to both provide quality service

This is because between hungry lawyers and the FAA,they aren't even being allowed to run their own businesses.

and customer safety.

They never were and never WILL be able to guarantee your safety.Neither will any other company,organizatio,OR GOOBERMENT! The only guarantee in life is that you will lose it.

All these damn so-called "security measures" being taken by the gooberment is pablum to lull the baby's back to sleep by convincing them "we are doing something". It's "PR versus reality".

Yes, I'm just not reassured when I see the approach is to take tweezers away from middle-aged American women. In fact I'll not fly until I can have a weapon on the plane, it would be better to have the citizens armed more not less.
