Bernhardt Takes On Airport Security

[Team Infidel]

​

Comedienne SANDRA BERNHARDT, close friend of Madonna, has threatened to fight new security measures at airports imposed after a terrorist attack on planes flying from the UK to the US was averted. From yesterday (10AUG06), passengers flying from and to America have been banned from taking non-essential hand luggage onboard jets. But Bernhardt, who is scheduled to fly out of New York's JFK Airport today (11AUG06) is determined to break the rule. She tells the New York Daily News, "When I go to the airport and they try to take my MAC Plushglass away from me, it's going to be World War III!"

I think all this security is getting out of hand!

A woman passenger has been arrested after a flight from London to Washington was diverted to Boston because of an on-board disturbance.

Transport officials said the woman, who is about 60 years old, was held in connection with a reported confrontation with the flight crew.
She was carrying hand cream - a banned item - and matches on board the United Airlines flight. The aircraft was escorted into Logan airport by two jet fighters.

I think a better usage of your disgust, would be to question how this 60 year old lady was able to get her hand lotion and matches (banned items) past the inspectors.

If the inspectors had done their job, the confrontation would never have happened.

Someone screwed up and it wasn't the lady.

The problem is they dont have the technology to find the devices that were found. I think they handled it well and they were correct in saying no hand luggage at all.

Its a joke in this womans case that she even got past security with matches never mind handcream. The fault there lies with the inspectors
