At some point I would think the airlines would realize the threat to their business and come up with their own plans for increasing security and responding to incidents.
Their sole reliance on the government has been a little stunning considering the trillions of dollars at stake.
(Or is that because the airlines believe they are “too big to fail” anyway?)
Well, I know I don’t want to fly anymore... :-)
The last time I did, however, I did so right at the beginning of Gulf War 2 and I was wondering if I would get off that plane alive. I don’t know if you remember, but if you were flying during the Gulf War 2 stuff going on, you were looking around and over your shoulder for anything out of place... LOL...
Now, on the way back home, I took the Amtrak, because I really didn’t want to fly — and what do you know but some kook got on board the Southwest Chief and went whacko and said there was a bomb on board and pulled the emergency stop for the train. You should have seen everyone jumping off that train... when it stopped... it was a sight to behold... :-)
