>The booms were probably the fighter after-burners as they split for blue sky. Airliners can't go super-sonic.

Normally military aircraft don't go super-sonic near civilian areas, so there are probably a lot of people that have never heard a sonic boom and probably freaked out in light of all that's happened. I bet some people were shook up.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm 6'3", 225lbs, and I've been told that I look like a Klingon. Do I get an automatic upgrade to 1st class?? :^)

I'll let you sit on the aisle seat, and I'll be next to you. After you break them up, I'll sit on them and torque a few broken limbs!

Well, if they even seem like a terrorist you will have to work on their legs, because I won't be leaving either arm uncompromised.

I've traded emails with him. He's an a--hole, to tell you the truth. But that's on a personal level. The Lewinsky thing has made him think of himself as some kind of god.

I still check the headlines from time to time, but he's old news...

What kind of an idiot would knowingly transport the deranged on a commercial flight? :

And one who apparently (as details are emerging) had not been given his medication!

>After-burners make a 'boom' when engaged. Super-sonic flight is against the law over the U.S. with rare exception (Shuttle).

Aahh, I did not know that, I just figured they didn't go super-sonic around civilian areas, I didn't realize it was the whole US. I've seen a few Shuttle launches (everybody should at least see one in their lifetime) and it's impressive, but out over the water (at least the FLA launches).

Except maybe in pursuit of a potentially hi-jacked commercial airliner?

If you are that big and look like a Klingon, I might get off the plane and let you have my seat!

When I think of Klingons, I think of Mad Max Waters, the black Klingon congressit from S. California! I would not fly on a plane with her/he/it!

If we threw you off of a plane because you look like a Klingon, would that be called ET Profiling?

Well, since I'm 62, I would appreciate you giving at least one or two power thrust kicks to their knee caps for an old man. Then I could pretend it's Thanksgiving, and I'm removing the legs from the turkey. Drumstick, anyone?

and I hear they got this thing... outside the house, real bright, yellow, up in the sky, supposed to be real warm and pleasant... maybe I'll check it out soon...

Being from Oregon, I would like you to identify that thing. I have been wondering what that was all summer.

I will certainly have you in mind the next time I fly (probably next month) whether you are on the plane or not.

"The curse of Free Republic."

I believe we all knew what was going on before Free Republic, the difference is that then all we could do was throw a shoe through the TV screen, kick the dog or beat our head against the part of the wall where the double stud is located.

Hang in there everybody, this war can only last ten or twenty years, maybe even less for some of us cogers and codgerettes. It is important that we all bear up though, the future of everything we hold dear, especially those delicate little Great Grand babies, depends on how we deal with the present evil.

God bless America and please have mercy upon those who leave us no choice but to do unto them as they have done unto us before they can do unto us again.

Good, and I will have you in mind when I fly the next time. These are discussions that all of us who fly need to have. We discuss this with our friends on FR and in our hometowns. When we get on the plane we introduce our selves to our peers and discuss the "LETS ROLL strategy in case something happens!

The pacifists chant "Visualize World Peace". We need to "Visualize disabling/killing those who would try to hijack the plane or harm the flight crew!"

Those, who can't visualize what to do to the bad guys, maybe you should not be flying for a while! I want someone like Crusader Rabbit on the plane with me and some loyal Klingons who will not have problem actualizing the total and violent destruction of bad guys by our selves!
