Would that be a smoking allowed airline?

DanaC has a point though; several "terrorist" cases in the UK turned out to be a mistake with completely innocent people being killed and/or injured.

No. No smoking, no drinking and your women must cover up.

Why is this such a dismissive idea? Put your money where your mouth is.

IF the planes had been blown up over the Atlantic, the cries would be, "WHY OH WHY DIDN'T OUR GOVERNMENTS KNOW ABOUT THIS?" etc. Can't really have it both ways, eh? Even you must know that.
