That's fucking stupid

Shortly after Sensibly Common posted this article, our pet troll posted the following comments. He still seems unable to realise that we are not publishing his comments any more but I thought I would share this comedy genius with you all because it is an almost perfect example of the stupidity that smart people face.

I’m sure that if the security forces had been given the choice between causing you mental anguish by expecting you to endure a short-haul flight without trimming “the old goatee”, and acting on specific intelligence about the types of weapons terrorists were planning on using to HIJACK/DESTROY A PASSENGER PLANE, they would have gone the other route.

 I suggest you avoid all this heartbreak, by not flying again untill they change their minds.

Oh where do I start? Could I start with the Daily Mail style capitalisation which he has used to add drama to the comments? Should I start with the insight that this uneducated fucktard brings to us from the inner thoughts of MI5? I think I shall start with the fact that the item specifically mentioned was a grooming kit and a bottle of water and these are, according to our pet troll, highly volatile weapons and likely to be used by terrorists at any time to destroy democracy as we know it.

Airside you can purchase a bottle of water and take it on the plane so clearly water is safe, the offending item which he must be talking about must be a simple grooming kit.

I am quite an inventive sort of person but I can’t quite work out why I would choose these items to destroy or hijack a plane. I think I would probably go a stabbing and slashing instrument as pictured below which can be made using items easily available from the duty free shop.

Combine this with the fact that the doors to the cockpit are now locked and cannot be opened except by the pilots (whose duty is to protect the plane rather than individual passengers) and it’s pretty much impossible to hijack a plane in these post 11/9 times. The work of the people on 11/9 relied on the passengers thinking they would survive if they stayed sat down and kept quiet. It would not take a hero of Hollywood proportions to realise that a group of a handful of hijackers armed with nail clippers or even real weapons are unlikely to last long against a group of passengers who are motivated by a desire to see their loved ones again (even if they get a nasty scratch from a nail clipper in the process).
