No silly, their heads are too big.

Ah, silly me. I shouldn't talk, I'm getting pretty skinny myself. But I'm barrel-chested, so there's only so skinny I can get.

"Myself, I would have asked the pilot to fly lower so I could see if (and how many times) they bounced."

Captain to highjackers: "If your cause is just, you will not fall to earth, but will ascend directly to heaven when we push you out the door."

HJ # 1 to HJ # 2: "Ahmad, you of great faith and more deserving to meet Allah before me, let it be my honor to allow you to go first."

HJ # 2 to HJ # 1: "Shirley, you jest!"

That's my favorite part. Show future wannabes that they will not only fail, but die without glory.

Stop using bomb snifing dogs, train pigs to sniff out explosives (as they are used to sniff out truffles). Then broadcast the bodies of these wouldbe hijackers being "defiled" by the pigs.

Remember that Atta had drafted up very particular instructions regarding how his body should be treated after his death (it doesn't appear that the document was a part of his WTC plans).

Unfortunately, they probably wont be reading this story on "The Evening News", notice the obscure (South African?) website that this story originated from.....

Which is the beauty of Free Republic. I really believe that Brit Hume gets his quicky pieces that he shows on his afternoon show on on the half hour from here.

At Waco, besides many American citizens, those of Great Britain were killed in some numbers, as well as those of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, Israel, Samoa, the Philippines and Guam...

Two real heroes. This is good news: now perhaps we can have armed air marshalls and pilots on US planes.
