It is a sad day that speaks volumes about the world we live in now, that we encounter an article on such an important, ground-breaking topic, and it's titled 'Airport security refuses transport'.
- tvon 14y agoWhen was the world not like this?
- legutierr 14y agoApproximately eleven years ago.
- objclxt 14y agoActually, they would have been fine six years ago - the liquid ban only came into force in 2006. And the EU would very much like to lift the ban, because it's completely pointless - it's meant to be lifted on EU flights in April 2013. Except both the US and the aviation industry is heavily lobbying for the EU to scrap their plans, for 'security' reasons (if you were cynical you might suggest budget airlines and airports benefitted from a liquids ban, as people had to spend money in airports/on planes rather than bringing their own refreshments etc).
- tvon 14y agoMhm, I was more alluding to the media and sensationalist and misleading headlines, but I get your point.
- mikeash 14y agoIt's possible to have multiple news articles concentrating on different aspects of the same event. I bet there are other articles out there that concentrate on the medical research. Not everything out there has to cover only the most important stuff.
- saraid216 14y agoA quick search through Google News says those hypothetical articles are rather hard to find.
- mikeash 14y agoTry searching 2008, when the procedure actually occurred, and you'll find quite a few.
- vacri 14y agoThe article itself is more about the medical aspect than the 'saved-by-the-friend' aspect.
