I don't want to get into a big debate about this but "airport security" in the 70's didn't involve strip searches and loss of liberty. It was basically just a search for fruit and parakeets in your luggage. What they do now is technically illegal in most countries as I said.
It's also worth considering that searches at airports actually *don't* contribute to your safety. There are many reports, (even from the agencies responsible for initiating and controlling these searches in the USA), that indicate rather strongly that they add practically zero to the security of the citizenry. They are done because it's necessary to "look like they are doing something." This is not some conspiracy theory, it's a fact. They make people feel better, and they make the various government agencies look better. That's why they are done.
The only proper response to terrorism and the only thing that actually works (and you should be aware of this if you are from the UK), is talking to the terrorists and eventually addressing their grievances, which are more often than not, quite real, mostly rational, and justified. But no one really wants to hear that. Logic really has little to do with these kind of things.
Anyway, didn't mean to really offend anyone, and not interested in a big debate about this stuff which I know I can't win anyway. So last word from me.
I'm afraid you come across as intellectually confused. Just how can preventing people from carrying guns onto a plane NOT increase everyone's security? And how has our security NOT been improved in the last ten years compared to the lax security of the 70's through to 2001.
As to Steve, I doubt any of it happened but if it did then then the Japanese security guy was right. But it is likely all just fiction.
He intended never to return to Japan. But then he hijacked his own plane, kidnapped himself, and took himself back to Japan by force. A tense standoff between SWAT teams and throwing stars ensued.
Clearly the story is full of trash media spin. Although given the fact that Kansai doesn't not have separate private and communal plane areas, what the security did was understandable. Otherwise on a private jet of that calibre, SJ could have just smashed a glass champagne bottle to threaten his own pilot and "hijack" the plane. Better still, he can just instruct his pilot to fly wherever he wanted from his comfort chair.

Perhaps he ignores trolls?
Perhaps not.
Wow, Newtron, take your meds, man.
You're beginning to sound crazier than usual.
You're kidding?
Newtron - are you still here?
Don't you have somewhere / anywhere to go?
It's OK to be somewhere else, we'll be fine.

Love this, nagromme!
The replies reveal more about the posters than the bogus story does about the subject.
No truer words in this thread.

Steve to security guy: "You're holding it wrong."
One of the only few worthwhile posts in this entire thread.
