That is racial profiling...illegal in the "civilised world". ALL bags must be searched not only those of Palestinians or non Jewish Israelis. Acts of terror can also be commited by jews, hence ALL lugage must be screened not only 1/4.. If that is not possible, flights MUST be scrapped alto...

I use BRU on a weekly basis..i live and work in antwerp. There is no way to use public transportation if my flight departs at 07:00 am or earlier. I will simply miss my flight, I need to use my car and park at the airport. I also avoid taking last flights into BRU as with a simple delay of 30 min (v...

I think that it is a bit more complicated for Alitalia as Rome is the capital of Italy, AZ will not drop domestic trafic that easily. Rome is a very important touristic centre that atracts not only europeans - many of whom fly in to town on lcc through Ciampino - but many north americans and Asians ...
