Can someone tell me why we don't have handcuffs on the airplanes? Just cuff the "unruly" passenger to his seat and go on to your destination. And what happened to the sky marshalls?

We do. All planes now have those think plastic insta-cuff things ... you know, like oversized cable ties. The flight attendents can tie up anyone they want with them.

And what happened to the sky marshalls?

There aren't enough of them yet. The only way to guarantee you're going to be on a flight with a sky marshall is to get on a plane going either to or from Reagan National. They have 100% coverage.

Ooooh. Now there's a nice, fat lawsuit waiting to happen.
