I can't remember the last flight I was on where they served peanuts. Usually it's nasty, dry snacks such as mini pretzels. Still, if peanuts are going to make someone seriously ill, sobeit.
I also can't remember the last flight I was on where pork was an option. Pork is delicious and isn't going to make anyone seriously ill, so I wonder why it's eschewed.

Fair enough. If the person was that allergic and it happened mid flight , you'd be annoyed the plane had to emergency land. Why should they ? I am not a medical person but wouldnt one just stab someone with a injection of epinephrine, if they were having a reaction to nuts mid air The probaility of some croaking because of heart failure or stroke is higher on flight than someone with a peanut allergy, so why havent the banned fat people, or fatty salty food ? |

But then you get stupid things like this....http://www.austindailyglobe.com/boy-dies-school-takes-asthma-inhaler/ The plane would probably stop someone using the adrenaline because of liability issues. |

Totally untrue. Anyone with a true allergy would have an Epipen type device which is easily administered. The plane first aid kit likely has one as well just in case. Best to stick to half truths at least dear fellow. |

Best to stick to half truths at least dear fellow. well smokie so had you:) Not all airlines carry epipens.....US ones do because of a specific law for them many others do not for liability issues. Most will allow an epipen to be carried but requireas Qantas states...Anaphylaxis/ allergies Passengers must be at low risk of a reaction on board. Qantas cannot guarantee the airline environment or food will be free of specific allergens. If a passenger is carrying an auto injector device e.g. EpiPen®, they must ensure it is in their carryon luggage and that they or an escort/carer/companion, are willing and capable of administering it if needed In many airlines airline staff are specifically prevented from administering any medication including these for potential liability issues. Things have improved over the last few years but not completely. Ffor clearnce epipens need a docors letter and the person in many cases is required to obtain prior aproval to fly from a doctor and apply at least three days before to the airline. |

The most stupid passenger in a flight could use one of these Epipens.
Well almost.

Next they'll ban smoking in the toilets. I was accused of that back in the late 90's on a charter flight from Goa to London. What a sight I must have looked....probably weighed 100lbs after 6 months of endless microdots and living on lentil daal and rice and swimming in the sea twice a day. The pack of smokes hanging out of my shirt pocket was likely a red rag to a bull. For once however I was innocent.  I've never had a smoke on a plane....on a trip to Ibiza the two lads next to me racked up some powder and offered me some just as we were about to take off. I had to decline....it didn't seem the right place for it  . |

Its something to heighten your ummm perception. Such a way with words young man. Some claim to have seen Jesus, others claim to be Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha rolled into one. Best consumed about 2 hours before Hawkwind take to the stage, or Pink Floyd for that matter. Set The Controls To The Heart Of The Sun. AKA, blotting paper. |
