I'm with you. IMO, they had no bombs. It was a wonderful scare tactic to keep everyone in their seats!!! These people were professional.
If the all the passengers were smart enough to jump these bastards(but none of us are under these averse circumstances) they'd probably all be alive today. Hind site is wonderful!!!
Well before we heard any suggestion of bomb threats about the hijacked aircraft, I realized they must have made such threats--and must have been made in a realistic fashion--in order to keep dozens American 'sheeples' from taking action against four or five thugs armed with box cutters.
In point of fact, they depended upon our familiarity with terrorist hijackings both in the news and in the entertainment culture. If not for technology allowing passengers to discover the other hijackings and end results for those aircraft, who would seriously expect a group of hijackers to be lying. It's also somewhat noteworthy they pretty much all (if not all) were first-class passengers. I haven't been on a 757 in about 10 years but I know many aircraft don't have a curtain or anything else to keep people from having a clear view of the cabin for observation purposes. It might be a good idea to rethink that area of the aircraft.
