The attempted bombing of Delta/Northwest 253 on Christmas Day was not the first from the Islamic terrorists nor will it be the last. Since I am a pilot, I have had people ask what can a passenger do onboard an airplane to help thwart a terrorist attack. Having personal experience with a few events myself, as well as reading articles and hearing stories from other crew members, I can give you some information which might assist you in dealing with a suspicious passenger or situation.
The first thing to realize is that there are a few different scenarios which the terrorists could be using on your particular flight. (Also realize that it could happen on any flight, not just one originating from a non U.S. location.) Options include ...

One of my favorites — by now we have expended a few hours (I guess), so hopefully he is on initial approach.
The secret of flying or tracking flying is distraction :)
So I hope we helped! :)
Hey, yo uit be happpenin, boss dudde
Thank you, you have! I suggested that he, my son download mark Levin, and other conservative talk show hosts to make the time go by faster—or have a couple of drinks and then sleep!!! His flight was about nine hours so I am assuming he is sleeping! A couple more hours!
Thanks for your kindness!
TY Looker ~wink
You and me both. After reading that article..it seals the deal..lol
My first flight after 911 was traumatic, full blown panic attack
Well, if I helped a little then I have done my small part for my FRiends :)
Rest and sleep well and gently, amigo.
For me, it is time to gird the loins for the coming day.
My best to you, your son and all your kin.

Reminds me how you can be in the right place
>>My first flight after 911 was traumatic, full blown panic attack<<
I was stuck in Ft. Worth for 3 weeks on 9/11 — my first flight was one of readiness: I was actually hoping someone would do something so I could pound him into the ground.

And there is just so much you can do to protect yourself.
GOOD FOR YOU! I dont fly often - but would if I could as I love to travel. I will be flying in next month or so & will mentally get ready as you have shared
Enjoyed your profile page.. and sorry about your baby.. she lived a long time. I lost my Cali about the same time frame (from my screenname.. Cali is the cat, not the state!).She was 19. 24 is almost a record I’ll bet

Thanks for your kind words — sorry about Cali as well (9 years is 1/2 to 1/3 of a human adult life and I know how significant a bond can be).
Have a great day!
