So you're cool with other people being regularly searched by the police when they go to buy a pint of milk in the name of safety, just so long as no-one takes away your G and T in name of safety
There's my question answered I guess.
And there's mine answered
Other peoples Civil Rights don't matter but don't take away my G&T
Two completely different things.
One is done to prevent serious violent crime. The other is done to relax when flying home after a law-abiding day's work.
Until someone throws a f***ing strop while pissed up on a massive flying machine, thus disrupting the safety of everyone on that flight and underneath it.
It's the same thing mate. You being penalised for others inability to act normal on a plane while pissed is comparable to random innocent people getting stopped to hopefully weed out the 0.001% that might be carrying a weapon.
You just dont like the idea of alcohol being banned on flights because it directly affects you.
I take about 40+ flights every year, and have never once seen any sort of incident caused by alcohol consumption on the aircraft that would endanger anyone.
Not once.
I'd suggest that virtually all alcohol related incidents on aircraft are caused through people who were already drunk when they boarded. So nothing to do with alcohol being served in-flight.
