      I’m surprised all airlines haven’t taken this step for now. One guy ruined wearing shoes through security, i think this is far worse.

      Trusting 400 strangers on board for hours…It’s amazing and scary at the same time.

      I bet Israel put some kind of altitude sensor or something in the pagers to prevent this. I can’t imagine them risking one going off on a plane.

      [Here’s a tiny consumer altitude and pressure sensor that is less than 1cm X 1cm not including the extra pcb board space.](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11084)

      They could easily put a sensor in there with the mini bomb and whatever else.

      This applies to all passengers transiting through or departing from Dubai, not just Emirates flights.

      Were there already a bunch of terrorists, er, I mean passengers, bringing pagers and walkie talkies onto their planes?!

      For good reason, just like how all of us should be looking at our phones. They might not have c4 but the bs you are getting off them is just as impactful.

      It’s gonna be a scary world when someone targets smart phones and you suddenly can’t bring them anywhere with you.

      You might as well ban all electronic items. laptops, iPads, kindle..What a fucked up world we live in

      Edit: this is the official statement from Emirates: “ All Passengers travelling on flights to, from or via Dubai are prohibited from transporting pagers and walkie-talkies in checked or cabin baggage.”

      Soon these will end up on Amazon and everyone will figure out with this is considered a War Crime.

      Wasn’t the oager attack super targeted? Couldn’t they just not allow people who sre part if a terror organization instead?

      This makes no sense because there’s nothing special about pagers or walkie talkies that make it easier to hide explosives in them. Why not ban phones, toothpaste tubes, or bags entirely? Security is supposed to catch bombs no matter how they’re hidden.

      What is this, the 80s and 90s? I mean anyone who is walking around with a pager and a walkie-talkie, unless you, Alan, then I would deem it suspicious anyways

    20. Roastage on

      Seems kind of dumb though? Is there anything that makes a pager or walkie-talkie more likely to be a bomb than a smart phone?

    21. manamara1 on

      What about laptops, hair dryers, shavers, water picks? Ain’t making sense this ban.

      I can’t afford one of their flight anyway so that’s above my pay jurisdiction 🫡
