In most parts of the world an airline passenger is subjected to all sorts of humiliating ordeals before being allowed to board a plane, in case they are potential shoebombers ot underpants bombers or terrorists of a similar ilk. Having carefully vetted all the passengers to ensure the aircfraft cannot be destroyed by any of the passengers, the governments responsible totally abrogate their responsibilities and allow the plane to fly through contested airspace where there is a war occurring 24/7.
This would seem a total disconnect to me.
What is the true function of all the security for boarding if the powers that be could not give a s***t once the plane is airbourne?
