I doubt that terrorists will be able to take over planes anymore. Once it became apparent that terrorists seek to kill instead of hold hostages, even liberals will die trying to prevent it.
Apparently they weren't interested in using the plane as a missile, they were just considering blowing it up over downtown LA. Not much the passengers can do about that.
"I doubt that terrorists will be able to take over planes anymore. "
I believe you are correct. I see no reason for people to necessarily have a fearful reaction just because someone who appears to be a Muslim is on a plane.
I cannot remember the last flight I was on that didn't have a few Muslim-looking people on it. All those flights arrived safely.
No doubt now that passengers would react quickly these days, but I disagree with those who are suspicious of everyone who looks different. That's just silly.
Yes, but if the terrorists are secretly assembling a bomb in the lavatory, no one - not even Chuck Norris sitting in first class - can do anything about it.
"I doubt that terrorists will be able to take over planes anymore. Once it became apparent that terrorists seek to kill instead of hold hostages, even liberals will die trying to prevent it"
The article was not about terrorists taking over a plane -- it was about terrorists blowing up a plane in flight, which apparently they are able to do rather easily, thanks to politically correct thinking by the people in charge of our safety.
"...even liberals will die trying to prevent it."
No. They won't.
Nah. They refuse to believe that "people who don't look like them" can do them any harm.
Now you get two or three 19 year old white guys holding pocket calculators and they will tackle them to the ground!
Maybe but no one on that flight did a thing.
I don't know. Take 14 young strong middle eastern men and have them clog up the aisle in front of the cockpit. Two of the men could go to the cockpit and the remaining me could act as buffers for anyone who did fight. They could use the plane as a missle again. The only real line of defense would be air marchals and the pilots. I'm sure the pilots would crash the plane rather than have it used as a missle. BTW, I wouldn't put much faith in the best effort of a liberal to fight off anyone. It isn't in their nature.
No, leftists are only capable of shooting or knifing you from behind. But they'll gladly send in you and I to take care of business.
This sounded like a dry run. If it was for real, they would have been successful, despite so many on the plane being suspicious, including the flight crew and air marshals. At no point were they stopped from whatever it was they were doing.
The FAA said they will not act unless something has happened. That means who ever is on the plane is somehow harmed or dead.
Uhhhh.....sorry I don't agree.
The article and the recent intelligence points to a bombing not a takeover. Try fighting with the bomber as the plane is in a million pieces over Kansas.
