You definitely don't want to mess with them.

Aimed correctly by a trained operative a Coconut can kill at 20 yards - or, can seriously hamper the reproductive process at 10 yards!

Oh, Kill you soon as look at you. Vicious.

I'm sure I read somewhere that there's more chance of being killed on your toilet than ther is of being killed on a plne... but even still, if they can make it as safe as possible then it's fine with me.

I actually have no fear of flying really, I love it in fact but there is always just that thought that you're thousand of feet in the air with nothing holding you up in a large metal tube.. if anyone goes crazy there's nowhere to run really is there?

If you read my previous post you would have seen that low density explosives wouldnt have been detected. Unless it was so thick as to be obvious.

Seeing as you like sources etc have a ganji at this

They're obviously not allowed on board as a carry on item. Feck explosives, get the coconuts off the plane stat!

I hate it. I'd rather have my privacy with the miniscule risk of being blown up than letting customs ogle at my ass. Sorry, but that's just me. They invented clothes for a reason you know.

So it would just have looked like a tumour?

A mate of mine was hospitalised by a coconut in Central America a few years ago, he strung a hammock under some coconut trees and a coconut fell on him. They are quite heavy when wrapped in their husk etc.

I flew on September 12th 2001 and it was horrible.. there was no joviality at all at the arport, just silence. Every flight was delayed for hours as security was obviously at it's highest. We weren't allwed anything at ALL on the plane apart from our boarding passes and passports... I even had to put my lipstick in my case :mad:
Every single person was thoroughly searched and frisked..I even had to show them that what they could feel was just the underwire in my bra! But uyou know what? I would not have a problem if security was like that all the time... I was a bit annoyed at having to pack all my hadn luggage in my suitcase but really it was fine and I felt the airport had done as much as they could to make it a safe flight.

I'd say you were lucky that you were able to fly on the 12th, think of all those poor buggers who were forced to land wherever they happened to be on the 11th.

Apart, of course, from the passengers on the 4 aircraft that DIDN'T land!

Yeah.. we were lucky. I phoned the airline in the morning to be told by some inane bint that of course all flights were cancelled.. Luckily I phoned again to recheck and was told that all European flights were ok... not a nice day to fly (probably the safest though)
