| 638542 | 2008-02-08 18:09:00 | How could she get a knife past security checkpoint??? Is there diff set of security procedures for Domestic flights?? If there is then, any terrorist could hop on a Domestic flight and be able to crash into Sky tower with ease !! |

If there is then, any terrorist could hop on a Domestic flight and be able to crash into Sky tower with ease !! Well, there IS a dress code I assume . . . . So it would have to be a well-dressed terrorist . |

| 638544 | 2008-02-08 18:33:00 | Be interesting to see what punishment the failed hijacker gets. Most countries would lock her up for a long long time if not saving cash with a summary execution. If we run true to form a bit of community service or if we decide to be really mean perhaps Home Detention for a couple of months. She has been charged with, among other things, hijacking - for which the maximum penalty is life imprisonment. I guess that makes us like "most countries"...? |

| 638545 | 2008-02-08 20:17:00 | How could she get a knife past security checkpoint??? She got on at Blenheim Airstrip/Airport. It is not much bigger than your average Bus Stop. The staff don't even bother to or need to lock their cars when they come to work there. Country towns work on trust, unlike cities. One crazy in all the years Blenheim Airstrip has been in business does not really call for multi million dollar Security Scanners. |

| 638546 | 2008-02-08 20:28:00 | Yes, we let nut cases into this country and the politicians go out of their way to defend them. The Pilot has got a lot to answer for. :( He should have given her her first Sky Diving lesson. ;) Now all of us will have to feed and nurture her while the “Bleeding Hearts” compose some lame brain excuse. :( So very very true |

| 638547 | 2008-02-08 20:45:00 | I've accidentally taken a knife on board a plane from Napier to Auckland, and back again. It wasn't until I got off the plane that I realised I had it in my bag. At the smaller domestic airports, there is virtually zero security screening. You walk through the gates, onto the tarmac, and into the plane, before they even check to see if you have a boarding pass. The reality is, the chances of a hijacking or other attack happening here are just too small to justify the cost and inconvenience of paranoid security screening. |

| 638549 | 2008-02-08 22:27:00 | $5 says they lock her up with a nice big LCD and PS3, then a few months later she gets released on bail. This is NZ law, after all. She got on at Blenheim Airstrip/Airport. It is not much bigger than your average Bus Stop. The staff don't even bother to or need to lock their cars when they come to work there. Country towns work on trust, unlike cities. One crazy in all the years Blenheim Airstrip has been in business does not really call for multi million dollar Security Scanners. Umm, have you even been there? Sure, it's small, but it's a crap load bigger than Oamaru's "airport" (if you could call it that) I knew people that work / worked there, and they all lock their cars. And where do you get country town from? It's Blenheim, not a town with 2 shops in the middle of no where. |
