From: "Tony Ingenoso" 

It seems to me that pilots themselves should perhaps actually start
performing the traditional pre-flight "walk around" rather than
trusting ground crews so much.

There's really a lot of places to hide bombs on airliners that a ground
crew has quick and easy access to.  Food and fuel service are also large
areas of vulnerability.   Contaminated fuel will bring a plane
down just as well as a  bomb.  If you're not concerned when the crash
happens, contaminated hydraulics fluid will do fine too.

Will that be coffee, tea or C4 sir?

I've stopped flying in airplanes where I don't pesonally know the pilot and
mechanics ;->
