The U.S. Transportation Department is using a new source to help determine potential airline protections: actual plane passengers.
Passengers have been invited to offer DOT officials protection suggestions by Jan. 22. They could help the federal agency determine what additional efforts should be taken to improve U.S. air travel, The Denver Post said Saturday.

Fly Delta, and you're flying a bucket o' bolts.
LOL, you actually read the article!
From Jerry Seinfeld:
“The way you want to set up airport security is to have the short heavy set woman at the front with the skin tight uniform. That’s your first line of defense.”

If the terrorists want fitted hats, they get fitted hats! Oh, and run around the airport and shut all the windows.
I was on a flight from DC to Tampa. 15 people were selected for the “secondary checks.” 15 middle age Caucasian males. I asked the airline manager why. Her reply? “You don’t complain.”
Recently at DFW, a female TSA agent was working unsupervised, out of site of any other TSA agent or LEOs. Her job was to prevent un-screened people entering the sterile concourse area through the exit doors.
She was wearing her full Muslim headscarf with her uniform.
The hijackers patronized strip bars before they went home and shaved their bodies.
What EAL equipment is DAL still flying? The 727s are all gone, as are the early DC-9 aircraft. Eastern’s airbus aircraft did not go to Delta.

In addition, Delta’s L-1011s are all gone too.
I like Delta, the staff is nice, and generally my experiences have been fine. They are upgrading their stock (seat back videos in cabin class, etc.) but in general, they get you where you’re going more or less on time, leaving aside the Southern thunderstorm factor.
As for airline security, the thing to do is register Muslims. They are the only problem and they are the reason we and the rest of the world have had to completely revamp everything in airline travel.
Register them and check them. And if somebody does not declare the fact that he is a Muslim and this is discovered later (before he attempts to blow up the plane, that is), he should be subject to a penalty.
I was once denied boarding at DCA 35 minutes before flight time on a 737 with 3 empty seats in B and 19 in Y, because as the gate agent later told her supervisor, “I didn’t want to redo my weight and balance for a big Honky!”
I’m not kidding, and I was Medallion Gold at the time.
LOL!!!
Ya think?
Flying....”Now let me see if I understand you; by making me 100% defenseless you are making me safer?” NOT!!
Translate “An armed society is a polite society” to “An armed society is a SAFE society”; statistics from states which allow gun carrying prove this unequivocally and without exception!!
Do away with “gun-free zones”, profile males of mideastern descent, and all of a sudden the problem reduces significantly! Then the TSA could concentrate soley on bomb detection, simplifying their task.
“but some sicko might get a gun” - how much can a sicko do, or would one try, when surrounded by similarly armed folks, especially in a confined space like an airplane? DUH!
Don’t let anyone tell you a couple of bullet holes in an airplane will cause decompression, either. In reality, airplanes leak like sieves - a bullet hole is of no consequence except as a gun-grabber scare tactic!
heh-heh!!
In the alternative, they could continue serving that rancidness they call food....that'll get 'em, sooner or later.
I'd be happy if they just got rid of the Muslims and other various foreigners (apparently naturalized by executive order of the Saudi government) who think searching for terrorists means wanding the WASP's, which is kinda like the SS guarding synagogues.
lol!
I rest my case. See post 34.
pingeroo...just because....sometimes you gotta laugh.
spoiled sport! : )
Was that in Atlanta? I will say there seems to be a bit of a racial thing (hatred of whites) in Atlanta, although that seems to be diminishing or maybe the really hostile folks are retiring.
My local post office in a town I lived in until a couple of years ago was managed by a Black Muslim who hated whites with such a passion that you barely dared to go into the branch when he was there. It was okay if he wasn’t there, but as soon as he showed up, the white employees stopped talking to anybody, and the black employees began to keep their eyes down and look embarrassed.
I remember once that one of the black employees was told by the manager to take a black customer who was further back in the line, and the employee hesitated because other (white) customers were in front of him. The manager began to insist, and it was the black customer himself who said he was fine waiting his place, and he didn’t want to go ahead. I’m sure the poor man was very embarrassed. Nasty people who have an axe to grind always make everybody else’s lives miserable.
Now that's frightening to know....I was just on a Delta flight. Maybe that explains why, flying in to LA from Salt Lake, two planes were grounded due to mechanical problems, and I ended up having to take a third plane to a completely different airport (near Burbank, instead).
