Is what's happening in Sharm-el-Sheikh at the moment perhaps the future of international air travel? Will there come a time when passengers fly in one plane with minimal, stringently-checked hand-luggage, and their baggage goes in a separate cargo-only plane? Thinking about it, not only would this minimise the threat from terrorist bombs (there's little kudos as a terrorist in downing a plane unless you cause significant loss of life) but if the timing is right, it could also provide an answer to one of the most frustrating aspects of air travel - the seemingly interminable wait by the carousel for your bags to appear. Send the cargo plane ahead and your bags could be there waiting for you. How about it, folks?
