and demanded that the flight be diverted to Jerusalem And we know how hijacker friendly Israel is. Prime Minister Netanyahu lost his brother Yonatan in the Entebe raid to free passengers held hostage on a hijacked airliner.

if some guys pulls a set of keys to hijack a plane that i am on, he’d better be a friggin’ ninja because i’ll have my set on me as well and i know how to fight dirty. (i’m a cop. they taught me how to fight that way.)

You don't want to eat the meals on Egypt Air, knife or no knife. The spinach is usually the best part.
