Aircraft should be equipped with a passenger ejection system; act up, and the passengers eject you from the plane in mid air.

Without a parachute.

Being voted off the airplane.

The passenger should have a parachute, however. But there should be a second vote on whether the parachute opens.

That way they can get rid of a passenger who's annoying, but not annoying enough to kill.

No, passengers should have to provide their own parachutes.

They're ALL her screen names. She's the only one that posts there.

I could see that.

But the other passengers still get to vote.

From what I read she'd come to England from Dubai but it was possible she'd originated her travel in Pakistan. Dubai is supposed to be pretty secure, but she could have purchased the stuff she carried at Heathrow.

"I sat next to a crazy lady once on a flight from Dallas to Chicago. She ranted and raved the whole way about the most trivial items. She criticized every little thing and drove me nuts.

Thank god we later got divorced."

I don't care who you are, THAT is HILARIOUS!

If she originated somewhere else and didn't leave the secure area during her transfer at Heathrow I don't see how the Brits are to blame here. Find out where she originated and there's your security problem.

"Her U.S. passport indicated that on Aug. 15 she had left Pakistan and entered the United Kingdom, according to the affidavit." She traveled via Dubai, UAE.

Dubai, eh? I heard Dubai was the epitome of security standards, some guy George mentioned something like that.

No, no, no! It is their Sea Port operations that are so fantastic. BTW, I am going to shuffle off and fetch some Popcorn and beverages. This is gonna be a two-fer. Dubai, UAE and Pakistan. "Our most staunch allies in the GWOT". Haahaaahaaaa.

I've been reading the liberal moonbat's ranting and rambling articles. She needed that screwdriver -- she has several screws loose...

Instead of voting someone off the island, you vote them off the airplane? I'm afraid the Atlantic Ocean would be littered with crying babies.

How, exactly, would that be bad? (provided that the parent goes with them, has a parachute, and someone eventually gets around to picking them up out of the ocean)

Not to worry. The sharks Major Owens says "..still follow the paths of the slave ships.." will be happy to have something fresh.

No problem. I understand completely as I know you had to look this up and then post it here. That in itself takes intestinal fortitude (and a bottle of Tums or two).

She needed the screwdriver to tighten her loose screws.

It's so hard to know what's true anymore. I'll read one article and then another will refute the first, or partially refute it. This is soooo annoying!

There is definitely something up. Another post on here has an incident that just happened with some liquids and possible explosives -forget which airport.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer had a pretty good editorial in the paper yesterday - it was the editorial board's editorial and it basically said "something is rotten in Denmark" as regards all the cellphone purchases.

When the story of the airline plot broke, it was reported that sky marshals were being sent to Britain, evidently to guard flights from Britain to the U.S..
