RAF fighter intercepts
In the last few days there have been two occasions where Typhoon fighters have been despatched to intercept two passenger aircraft en route to Stansted - one because some woman was drunk and threatening to open the door. What exactly are these fighters supposed to do apart from terrifying the local population with sonic booms? They can't actually do anything to stop drunks - it might be better if the airline just stopped serving them. The other occasion was an Air India aircraft which had a bomb threat so yes, more serious but what were fighters actually there for? Just wondering.
