So i said to my missus. i aint happy with thier behaviour at all
so i went to the stewards and told themn of these peoples behaviour and said could they monitor them as i didnt want to find myself flying into some building. As it turned out when we finally landed these folk all had small knives in their baggage. Which they claimed were souvenirs.
our flight went without incident and we were all safe, but you can understand the fear generated !!
hmmm...
that reminds me of a recent incident on an american internal flight where a large family of muslims was on the plane. apparently passengers nearby overheard one of them saying 'oh, look we're right next to the engines'. they were reported to the crew, the flight was abandoned and the whole family arrested.
better safe than sorry, eh?
unfortunately i didnt hear them say anything, it was their behaviour that looked suspicious. finding the knives at customs was the key i think though.
we had to go to customs as we had 3000 cigs in the case, lol
