Baby talk: The new risk to flight security?

Flight security is indeed a joke. There was a possible attempt to take down a plane using some sort of liquid explosive, so now most liquids are banned (well, in Europe, dunno about America) - that is a purely reactive ban to one out of a thousand possible threats, simply because that threat has already been tried. Silly. You don't increase security by reacting to a previous threat; you increase security by working to analyze possible future threats and working on neutralising them.

Preventing passenger access to the cockpit was about the only sensible move I can think of in terms of the "new security".

Do you have a link to the by chance article Waring?

My friend was telling me about this yesterday and Id like to read about it =)

He said the mom and kid were on a talk show that originally sympathized with them, but the kid was out of control on the tv show too. Maybe I should scan youtube for some clips.

The way I see it is the airlines are a business and if they want to kick someone off becuase they are bothering the other 100+ passengers, they have the right. I know I wouldnt want to sit next to an uncontrollable kid for a 4+ hour flight.

Here's a clip I found on a local news website:

Ehh ... a 19-month-old is going to be out of control anyways. They have the attention span of a gnat. I can't blame the kid for saying "bye bye plane." He was probably doing the backward hand wave to himself, too, the way toddlers do. It's perfectly normal behavior. What is a parent going to tell her 19-month-old about a plane flight? "We're going bye-bye on the plane and we're going to fly like birds!" Jeez. What did the flight attendant think, that the baby had a bomb in his little light-up sneakers? Please. The kid was reportedly asleep before the mother made it back to the terminal after having been kicked off the plane. I doubt he'd have been awake for the entire flight anyway -- and 1-900-MixALot anybody who suggests drugging a child so as not to bother anybody else. That's child abuse.

Anyway -- do a search on CNN.com for the story. You'll probably find it easily.

The way i see it. Think about being in her job like that. Everyday you think about "What if the plane goes down.." or "What should i do if a terrorists attacks...", its gotta be stressful as shit. It may have been a little over kill to toss them off the flight but she was in her rights to do it. Kids are being trained in Al Qeda [sp?], there no getting around it. Just because of age you cant dis qualify someone.

Pakistani Jihadis training children as "future terrorists"



They are being trained, no doubt about it. She had every right to report them.

Hecude, we are talking about an under-two-year-old infant. Don't be so ridiculous.
