Kopites Supersonic November 7, 2018 Share November 7, 2018 (edited) Airlines ban carry on board water bottle. Are they going to ban that as well?

Vratenza Supersonic November 7, 2018 Share November 7, 2018 In my personal opinion, if want to do, it's either you do the full works (like airport/airlines) or you just don't do at all. Only check for metal? No xray machine? No liquid detectors? How will a metal detector pick up someone who brings in mineral water bottles of kerosene or other clear water-like fuel, a strip of cloth or handkerchief, a lighter he passed off as for his cigarettes. In less than a few seconds it can become a molotov cocktail. Doing half assed measures just impart a false sense of security waiting and inviting the determined saboteur to get through the loop holes. Who are the LTA scholars trying to pull wool over the eyes? The >30% gullibles? Waste of public money. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The >30% gullibles? Waste of public money. I disagree. How feasible is it to screen and presumably stop the transport of water on board MRT, which the population takes on a daily basis? Clearly there is a distinction between airports/airlines and MRT. So if it is not possible to do the full works (which begs the question what amounts to "full works"), then by your position it means to do nothing at all. I think to try and stop something is better than not trying at all, weighing the cost vs. benefit. By extension, if SMRT cannot prevent all maintenance issues and breakdown, then they should just stop trying entirely. If the door to your house cannot stop bullets or cannot stop a flood, then might as well not have a door. If I cannot be sure that I will get full marks for an exam paper then I might as well not study at all or not don't even bother showing up. Clearly these approaches are bizarre. There is always the cost-benefit analysis. Someone will foot the bill and it will be naïve to think that the bill will not eventually find its way to the commuter, or even the taxpayer. I am supportive of measured approaches and this move. Not attempts to poke holes without realistic alternatives. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
