Ask yourself what you'd have done if you had been herded and unarmed and on any one of those four planes.
Because the unpleasant fact is this: herded and unarmed is what you'll be the next time you get on a plane - whenever planes start flying again. You'll still be depending solely on your well-meaning public servants and their minions to protect you, no matter how poorly they've done so in the past, culminating in yesterday's disastrous failure - which could have likely been prevented, and tens of thousands of lives probably saved, by having, at the very least, armed and trained pilots and flight attendants on the doomed planes.
And no doubt you'll soon be hearing again how and why your public servants can "protect" you way better than you can. Diane Feinstein, Joe Lieberman, John McCain,Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Brady, Rosie O'Donnell - all of them smug and protected bytheir personal armed guards, many of these guards paid for by your tax dollars -will still be trying to pass laws to disarm you and to strip you of your right to self-defense, to make you more dependent on the kind of "security" that permitted the kamikaze scum who declared war on us yesterday to do what they did.
