IT IS very easy to say many things with hindsight after the ruthlessly orchestrated and despicably evil attack on innocent people last week in New York and Washington. But airport security must be tightened and completely reviewed following this atrocity.

Security must be from now on very stringent with more thorough checks at terminals. Cockpits must be made inaccessible to passengers. Even if this entails having armed security personnel on board flights, such atrocious acts must never happen again.

Next time they could have a nuclear bomb on board.
