It's called common sense.

My friend had quite a large knife, which is allowed on aircraft if stored in the main luggage, even in America, I believe. But the idea is that main luggage is stored in the hold and not the main cabbin, hence people have no access to it. If you let someone carry a knife in their main luggage then storing the main luggage in the row behind them, you might as well let them keep it in their hand luggage. I'm not saying such practice had anything to do what happened in Irkutsk, but you'd think S7 would take EVERY precaution. Especially considering they lost two aircraft to terrorist bombings less than two years ago.


The fact that you are and many other Russians are extremely over defensive about everything suggests underlying insecurities. Or is that more western propoganda? Or is it that I have an inferiority complex because I live in little England, and Russia is so huge?
