Seems like that headline should read ...

"UNARMED passengers remain a plane's last line of defense against ARMED hijackers"

Been hearing some interesting counter-terrorism weapons which could be carried on board by passengers discussed by my little old grannie friends. Among them, a brick with a crocheted cover, and several golf balls or a bag of golf balls in a pretty bag. All the grannies are learning to pitch. :O)

IMO airlines should create a new set of seats between the first class seats and the cockpit. It would be reserved for hockey and rugby players. Drinks would be free.

There was good posting yesterday of an email sent by a pilot to his union. He was urging that pilots and flight crew be instructed to immediately KILL all subdued hijackers to eliminate the threat of them continuing to resist.

(Stabbing with ball point pens, bludgeoning with extinguishers, smashing/chopping with the fire ax, etc..)
