u know, the guy had a mental problem, and yet he still was doing missionary work. u have to feel sad for him, the story is just really depressing because he may have had a disease, but he seemed like he was a decent person

i think that the risk of hijackings is minimal since the entire flight will fight the hijacker, and someone carrying explosives onto a flight is lower due to the air puffing explosive machines in the TSA security checkpoints,

the only thing that is still unsafe is the risk of a lockerbie style bomb in the luggage that sneaks onto a flight

air marshals are good, but the risk just isn't that great anymore, it does no good to fight yesterdays tactics today

but i digress, I really felt bad for this guy
may he rest in peace

That is the achilles heal and why his disembarking the plane is dangerous sign regardless of what he said. Planes that have had luggage placed on them when passengers have left has caused flights to be stopped while the baggage has been rechecked.
