Question? If I decide to organize all of the obviously American passengers on my flight about how to handle a terrorist attack before we get on the plane, is this against any law? For example, one could devise "code words" with a group of men in advance to cut down reaction time if terrorists did show up on the plane. Something like "66 means you get up in the aisle and attack terrorists and don't let them get to the cockpit." My sister, who just graduated law school, seems to think I could get thrown in jail for "exciting panic" by even talking about a plan for armimg and defending against a future attack. She says if some passengers panic from my words, I could get jailed. What about planning something in advance with pilots and the strongest American guys on the plane? Would the pilots need to report you? I would not bother with the flight attendants, I don't think. I know this is not an article, but I really need any good advice. I want to fly home, but I refuse to feel like a sitting duck, just because my gov't is telling me "it is safe to fly". I believe that reaction time is exceptionally important in this situation, judging from flight 93, and would work best with advance planning. What do you all think?
