Also heard on Cnn that someone in the cockpit hit him with an axe........ Fox reported a flight attendant hit with an axe. Right on!
I switched to CNN when there was a commercial on Fox, and CNN reported it was the Co-pilot who hit the guy over the head with the axe and some of the passengers subdued him, and that he was drunk.
Flew from Houston to LA early january and had no problems.....
Just flew on United to Denver and back this past weekend, got home last night. Had a calm flight. But it took TWO hours of waiting in line at Denver airport to wait to go through security and we missed our flight and had to take a later one. Denver airport is so slow with security checks, Houston and L A are fast! Denver only had about 6 people doing security checks and about a thousand people waiting in line to go through security - and I think that it is much more dangerous this way.... backed up security lines full of a thousand (anxious, harried) people, and only about 6 people watching them. what an opportunity for terrorists to pull something right there at the airport. Plus, they stop all cars coming to airport, and check inside your trunk... well, law abiding people stop for the truck inspection. But do you think a terrorist with a car bomb would stop and open his trunk for inspection? or would he just step on the gas and get to the airport and blow it up before anyone stops him? Dumb security ideas, all window washing! What is making skies safer is passengers and flight crews who will jump on an unruly passenger! My son said this is not a good time to ACT UP on a flight! He said everyone is just looking for a chance to jump on a terrorist and beat him to a pulp in flight!
