Does anyone remember that Egypt Air flight that crashed into the Atlantic about 15 years ago off the coast of Labridor when the co-pilot drove it at a very steep angle into the ocean? Egyptian government officials cried long and loud that a Muslem could never kill innocent people until the voice recorder and black box were retrieved weeks afterward and showed clearly that the co-pilot did it intentionally. As I recall the man had a wife and several children back in Egypt and no previous indication that he was a ticking time bomb.sjfcontrol wrote: I agree with what you said. But it occurs to me that it is rather pointless to search the pilot for bombs or other destructive devises. If the pilot wants to destroy the plane, he is in a position to do so without requiring any external equipment.
