An excellent message that needs to be repeated over and over and over..... It doesn't matter if it is gun ownership, home invasion or national security.... It doesn't matter if it is a burglar, a rapist, a murderer or a terrorist/jihadist... The issue of our age is self defense. The Democrat Left has drawn a line in the sand in Connecticut. They are against survival.

I thought it was a strong move. But actually, it is a huge crisis for the airlines. We've got to get this war fought and won. Eliminate Bin Laden, Al Quaida and straighten out the sick freaks out who think that sick cult of Islam is going to "take over" anything.
Is this the behavior of human beings? When Islam infects a person’s soul, does the person cease to be human?
Yes, and then they stuck their collective heads in it.
It seems to me it is unconstitutional not to profile! The government of this nation is to provide for the defense of the citizens, not make us lambs to the slaughter for political reasons. I am beside myself with anger and disgust at the democrats and all leftists everywhere!!!! Should passengers take matters into their own hands, You bet they should. No one else will!
MY personal note? Sher Sieve is psychotic. The flight attendant who refused to take the bottled water is a sane person in a terrorized world.
Perhaps the flight attendent was profiling - there is no mention of the background or appearance of the passengers allowed on with water bottles. It could have been the proverbial 75 year old granny or the 10 year old boyscout.
yeah, whats the worse that a mob could do?
Absolutely! That's my point.
BTW - the greatest single hero of the "WOT" so far has been that stewardess who stopped the "Shoe Bomber". We don't even know her name, do we? No, we're supposed to worship GOVERNMENT.
The whole article makes sense except for the part about the water bottles. There should be some room for discretion, for heaven's sake. The worst problem is bureaucratic inflexibility and stupidity in the first place.
For instance, is the cap intact on a soda water bottle, with the safety ring unbroken? Or if it is an opened water bottle, why not just open it up and sniff at it? Water smells different from inflammables and explosives, IMHO. Someone needs to use common sense and develop sensible rules, rather than make passengers suffer from thirst on long flights.
This would especially be true of people with medical problems such as kidney stones who need plenty of fluids.
Nope. But we all got fed that Jessica Lynch hooey, didn't we?
pingpingpingpingping!
Houston! We have a winner!

Wow!
Thanks!!!!!!
Why doesn't everybody know about this? Instead,"Rudy" is supposed to be the hero ... (puke)
The time for passenger mutinies arrived during the hijacking of Flt. 93; it has never ended.
Too often, they cease to *act* human.
Like a rabid dog.
So--by analogy to rabies--do we shoot or quarantine those who are so evil.
We can't -- for their safety and the safety of others, as well as for principle's sake -- leave them to their own, err, devices.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
You might have added that nowhere are they more strongly against survival than in Great Britain.
