RB replied to the thread Carry-on bag X-ray classifies liquids.
I'm going to take the more conservative position. It's not just taking over the plane but also safety of the passengers. Items that make ready weapons should be restricted.

It depends on the type of xray system. The older ones are still pretty much 70s tech with coloring added, some of the newer versions have threat alerts based on density and such. Most of the specs for the xray systems in use worldwide can be...

Airbus A320. Edit to add: Same family. Not sure if they share the same engines. Some engines are more resistant to FOD damage than others although a large bird or some other kind of debris will take out most any engine. Not latching the...

I would love to disagree with you, but in reality, this is most likely exactly what will happen. It takes time for the new equipment to be rolled out, and sadly it seems that everyone but the front line employees know what changes are coming -...

Wasn't it an A-319 that Scully landed in the Hudson after birds took out both engines? I know it was an Airbus.

BA A-319 with 2 damaged engines limps back to LHR [LHR, OSL]
They suspect that it took off with an engine cowling not properly latched down, and that issue was compounded by bird strikes in one or both engines. Lots of pics & videos in the articles, esp. in the Daily Mail. UK Daily Mail: Should stricken...
