Then why even worry about him running toward the cockpit? Why would a guy with a bomb run toward the cockpit on a plane still on the ground with a bomb if he just wanted to blow it up anyway? Think man...

Don't know. But I do know that if you are running up the aisle and raving like a lunatic that you shouldn't be surprised if you get shot.

Agreed. You should stay on that line of reasoning rather than entering into the "oh so i guess bombs don't hurt a plane if they're still on the ground" approach.

To be honest, I was surprised to read that as your posts are usually really reasonable.

You do acknowledge that the tactical situation while the plane is on the ground is different than when it is in the air, right? When the plane is in the air, it can be used as a missile.
