And other 'security' measures...just the Federal government's way of taking the fight out of its citizens. We mustn't have citizens struggling against terrorists to prevent a greater disaster when they should sit like docile hens in their seats waiting for an approved badged wonder to pop up and save them. (Of course, it was that cooperate and wait for rescue mentality which made 9/11 possible, but we're not supposed to figure that out.)
Knowing the gov, it will hire Islamic militant immigrants under affirmative action to be air marshalls, in addition to the illegal immigrant A&P guys and the high school dropouts on gate security.
The fact that our govt 6 months after 9-11 will STILL not trust ex military commercial airline pilots with pistols tells me all I need to know about what they really think about us peasants.
But they'll assign F-16s to shoot down errant jetliners and kill all aboard, that's okay, the F-16 jockey is a current govt employee.
