Anyone acts like that on a flight I'm on, they won't need to be restrained - they'll be unconscious. There's no excuse for this crap in this day and age of terrorism.

One of the reasons every time I travel one item in my backpack carryon is duct tape. It has hundreds of uses while traveling, including making an excellent restraint and or gag.....

Some years ago, three Northwest pilots were drinking pretty heavy in a Moorhead, Minnesota bar. When they showed up for their flight at nearby Fargo, N.D. word got out to stop the take-off.

A week or two later, one of the co-pilots for FedEx got soused and used a claw hammer to attack the taxiing pilot of a cargo jet shortly after take-off. Fortunately, the navigator was able to subdue him and the flight landed safely.

The airline joke at the time . . .

Q: What's the difference between a Northwest pilot and a Federal Express pilot?
A: Northwest pilots get hammered before take-off.

You know? That was one of the smartest ideas I have heard in a long time. Thanks, and from now on it will be a mandatory carry on for me! I always think to sit on an isle seat, in case something goes wrong and I need to help an attendant or passenger. The tape is an excellent idea.
God Bless You!
