O'LEAERY NOT INTERSTED IN SAFETY MORE INTERESTED IN PROFIT

The ryanair boss,O'Leary has warned the government that a new security crackdown in the wake of the cargo bomb plot would hand a victory to terrorists.
The chief executive of Europe's largest short-haul airline said "pandering" to a postal bomber would mean more costly security measures for the industry.
"They are laughing away in their caves this morning at the prime minister and his security team meeting to discuss printer cartridges," said O'Leary, referring to a meeting of the Cobra emergency committee this afternoon.
Asked what he would do to ensure passenger safety following the discovery of explosive devices concealed in printers at airports in the East Midlands and Dubai, he said: "Ban the posting of printer cartridges."
Freight is a valuable business for international airlines. In the UK alone passenger aircraft carry in their holds around two-thirds of all the air cargo to and from Britain - around 1.6m tonnes of freight and mail.
O'Leary said airlines had been scarred by the aftermath of the August 2006 terrorist plot, which triggered a wave of security changes including the banning of large containers of liquids such as water bottles. Last week Martin Broughton, chairman of British Airways, urged the government to stop "kowtowing" to US security demands and drop "redundant" anti-terror precautions at airports.
O'Leary said the industry viewed Cobra meetings with foreboding because they often introduced draconian security precautions that were costly and disrupted airports. "Any time that we have one of these [Cobra meetings] the first thing that goes out of the window is common sense. As far as I can tell some nutter in Yemen posted two parcel bombs and has managed to have the prime minister meeting Cobra as if we are all under attack. Fucking calm down," said O'Leary.

As you can see from comments from O'Leary,profit will always come before safety..These aircraft not only had passengers on board,pilots and cabin crew also,do you think O'Leary is bothered....Not one word about safety of his own staff............Two selfish men, BONDERMAN tpg and O'LEARY...
