>>Best to ban any Middle Eastern airliners from overflying or landing near urban centers in the USA.<<

I too think the Debt of Honor scenario is the most likely way for Al Qaeda to procure a transport category aircraft in the near future.

To me it makes the entire gun-in-cockpit debate moot. There won't be any more 11 Sept style hijackings because for one thing, all passengers are aware of their do or die responsibility.

Best way out of this mess is find an alternative source for oil or energy, and cut off all contact with the Arabs. That means no immigration, no tourism, no visas, no commerical airliners. They'll just rot on the vine.
