I don't understand why passengers and attendents sat passively by, and allowed these fellows to possibly build a bomb in the bathroom?! I thought we had all learned a lesson from flight 93, on 9-11? No?

I think the author should sue Delta. Sorry, but the flight attendents failed to do the job they are hired to do: protect the passengers. They needed to tell the men to take their seats. If they didn't, then the marshals could arrest them. Then again, that may be part of the terrorists plan. Cause a diversion, identify the airmarshal and keep him and the attendents busy.....

And now we have another possible modification for the airplanes. Give the pilot the ability to lock/unlock the bathroom doors, from the cockpit!

Was this a test in response to Pennsylvania? It would not take too many average size men to block a narrow aisle while the rest worked on the cockpit door!? Fatal repsonse by the passengers and crew!

It's equally disturbing to me that the passenger sits around in fear crapping in her pants while doing nothing. I would have at least started dialogging with some other passengers about a game plan if necessary to resort to force...after i took my belt off and had it ready to wrap around the closes suspicious person to me.
