If this information is true, currently pilots are basing their defense of the cockpit on inaccurate information. Currently, each cockpit door is equipped with a locking mechanism that is supposed to prevent a cockpit intrusion. If the hijackers are armed, this device will be of little consequence. If this new information is true it may motivate more pilots to take a more proactive role in profiling. If a pilot stands in the door and monitors the boarding of the passengers and spots four male Middle Eastern types between the ages 20-35, he may take a closer look at the passenger list if he has reason to believe they may be armed, based on this new information.

I doubt she is the same one. Also, a SUZANNE CLARK, AGE 42 is listed as a perished passenger on Flight 77.
Thanks for flagging me to this one honway.
Could this be a hoax? I thought this was legitimate late last night when I first saw it, like you do. But now I am having second thoughts.
