I couldnt help noticing the wast array of ideas on improvides offensive and defensive weapons being brought up on the ETS forum. I think that brainstorming them up on this forum and carrying them on airliners wont stop the current airline-security madness. Especially if we start to carry dangerous improvisations ourselves. An umbrella, a walking stick and a D-cell flashlight could be ok, but dont give "them" a reson to confiscate your BIC disposable razor, as they actually have been doing on Stanstet Airport, London, UK.<br>Do carry survival gear but for uses as fire, shelter, signaling and first aid. If we´re really surviors, we should be able to do without a blade (and have a realy hard time, but thats life).<br><br>Stefan, Sweden
