>>on 9/11 four planes were hijacked. In this single instance.....there wasn't a hijacking.
Wait till a hijacking is in progress, then leap into action, is that what you are advocating?

Nope. What I'm "advocating" is that everybody consider 1)This is the only serious incident to have occured since 9/11....2)Kerry's main theme politically is "Bush hasn't made us safer".
Forty Thousand flights per year on average, and we have one (1) incident of this kind in the almost three years since 9/11/01?
Just trying to point out this is a POLITICAL story, which is why it won't "die". Its been talked about, its been dissected repeatedly. We know that Air Marshall's were on the flight, we know the TSA interviewed the subjects of interest, and let them go.
And I will add I don't know of anyone that flies today that doesn't automatically consider what actions they will take if another 9/11 scenario plays out on any plane.
The best defense against terrorism excluding taking the fight to the enemy is "We the People".
But this story is pure political gamesmanship, in my honest opinion. Has been from the moment it first cropped up.
