Listen, I have a German screen name so obviously I am all for eliminating the insane, but there really are some very crazy people who just crazy and not really dangerous. Lots of not so crazy people still occassionaly do stupid things in airports.
PS I am kidding about the killing the insane past.

Then they must realize they need a lot more practice before game day because they have been creamed.

Simply amazing, our level of adaptability... LOL - I guess that sounded somewhat cavalier, didn't it?
But we do get used to it. Sad, isn't it?

The flight was reportedly heading to the Qatari capital Doha from Jordan's capital, Amman.
Hmmm, flying from one of our Muslim allies to another....

Associated Press Writer AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- A man tried to force his way into the cockpit of a Qatari Airways flight Thursday before he was restrained and the plane returned safely to Amman, airport officials said, adding that they did not believe it was a hijacking attempt.
The flight was on route from the Jordanian capital to Doha, Qatar, when the incident occurred.
The man, whose nationality was not immediately known, started walking to the cockpit, screaming at flight attendants and demanding to talk to the pilot, before he was restrained, said one airport official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the information was still preliminary.
Another airport official said he did not believe the man was trying to hijack the flight, which turned around and landed in Amman.

That movie would have been over quickly if the plane lowered the cabin temperature to as cold as it could manage. But but but turning on the air conditioning reduces the fuel economy!

You're such a kidder!!! Islam doesn't kill off the insane and the mental defectives. Islam promotes them to Imam, Ayatollah or Mullah

Then they must realize they need a lot more practice before game day because they have been creamed. The problem with suicide bombers is that every game is a pre-season game, since their veterans are only good for only one game.

Wasn't it a many-jointed success? The Iraqis helped the U.S. forces locate him.
Two 500-pound U.S. bombs dropped from U.S. planes wasted him.
