The article is in Norwegian, though the picture says it all - why would a pilot try to hijack a plane by bringing a scissor or small knife when he has that axe in his cockpit...?

The pilots are forced through the same security measures as other travelers, which really is completely idiotic. They are, understandably feeling harrassed by this, and are very annoyed.

And do we really want pissed off pilots flying our planes...?
why hijack the plane when you already control it
