) axe stored in the passenger cabin is finally out. You know, the one kept in the special box that says "If you are bad do not look in here because there is not an axe inside - this means you terrorists."

I feel this security procedures way over-hunting and unnecessary.
Yes, ISIS, Irak, Iran, Africa and Afghanistan has terrorists. But they are there and they hardly able to come to Europe. European flights should not follow blindly the United States. In my opinion if Europe would not follow security changes from US, then not only this tragedy would not happen but also millions of people life's would be less complicated.
I think I am right if I say (many others said before here) in this particular case that security door lock backfired the system and cost many life.

Security is important. This worthless little shxt has exposed a problem in our system which we will solve. No security is not the answer. Better security and evaluation of "problem children" is the solution. Thanks for giving your two cents. That's about what it's worth.
