Ryanair threat to sue British Government
Ryanair Boss Michael O’Leary has threatened to sue the British Government if they don’t relax their strict security measures at airports.
Ryanair who operate a quick turnaround between landing and take off have been severely affected by the new measures imposed.
While the British Government has dismissed O’Leary’s claims saying, “it would not be paying out any compensation or taking any measures which would compromise the security of air travellers” O’Leary has made some interesting points.
He questioned why the same restrictions on liquid products were not being imposed on the London Underground and the Eurotunnel, if they posed such a threat to the public.
“The extraordinary efforts of these people are not sustainable and the only way to prove to the terrorists that they cannot disrupt British life is to return the airport security requirements to their safe, pre-August 9 levels,” said Mr O’Leary.

O’Leary is dead wrong on this.
The airports and British govt are not implementing these procedures for the hell of it. They are trying desperately to keep his goddamned airplanes from being blown up midair.
Shame on him.

This guy is crazy. If I were British I would boycott Ryaniar. O’Leary is just crazy: first, he said he would give free flights away if England lost in the World Cup and now he is suing the British government for implementing security measures. He is a complete idiot.
