This has had me amused all weekend.
On Saturday mrs unit and myself had to fly to Canberra to go to my sisters wedding with a previously referred to merkin.
Anywho, as we're on the plane awaiting to take off, the air hostess clips an orange strap over the window on the door of the plane.
Its not holding anything against the door, its not even tight, what is its purpose?
I asked the hostess if thats something installed in the planes to help against terrorists hijacking planes.
She just laughed and kept walking.
She didn't answer the f**king question either!
So I assumed maybe it was a one off.
However, on the return flight, it was there again, on a different plane (We flew down on Virgin Blue and flew back on Qantas)
I asked the Hostess on this plane what the purpose of the orange strap was and she said "It's a safety mechanism"
And she left it at that!
How can a loosely innocuosly placed orange strap, clipped over a window, improve safety?
Maybe we should have them installed in all our homes to prevent our homes being burgled...
