"...........But again, everybody reacted as they should, the system — once the incident occurred, the system worked. "

ok. The system worked on Christmas day. With the new restrictions the system will fail because it will be illegal for passengers to leave their seats.

Oh, but wait, she wasn't referring to the passengers, she was referring to the people on solid ground who only had to pick up a phone or whatever it is to alert other pilots. Cool.

My guess is, when all were alerted, then and only then was a call put through to obama. It took them either 90 mins or three hours to do this depending on which time frame one believes.

Obviously, Janet doesn't think we need to change our terrorism prevention methods, since she makes excuses why they can't stop everyone from flying on their lists.

So even if she only meant the response system worked, she's not right. It wasn't a member of the crew that subdued this man, but a quick thinking heroic passenger.

If she wants the crew to be where the buck stops, sounds like the airlines need to hire burly men (or ladies) to be crew members. Since the Obama’s security response is the crew, they should all be given a test on ability to tackle and strong arm terrorists.
