Mr. Bin Laden, You're Clear to Fly

Aztec - Didn't the 9/11 hijackers have like, porcelain knives? That wouldn't set off a detector... No removal of shoes = bad

[Indecisive]

I thought they had box cutters.

Which is why we need fully reinforced cockpit doors that can only be opened from inside the cockpit; air marshalls; and armed pilots -

Basically everything that El Al Airlines does - they haven't had ONE hijacking in their torrid history. Be paranoid nazi's if you have to, but screw that, I'd rather have paranoid security than a lax system that lets THIRTEEN hijackers onto flights.

An emerging market is very sharp plastic knives that can be worn by a necklace, an area not frequently patted down.

You know this banning box cutters is very dangerous thing. What if the plane crashes and your are stranded in a high snowy place and need to get into the food. You woudnt want another repeat of survivor.

1) If the plane crashes into anything you're either going to be dead, or dying. Rarely, every so rarely, does someone survive a plane crash.

2) If you did manage to survive a crash, you're screwed if help doesn't come soon (assuming you have water).

Why not have a whole separate door from the outside into the cockpit? Would be pretty hard to hijack a plane if the only way in would be through a wall.

Would also make it very hard to tell the stewards anything important.

Heard of an intercom?

I think they should make planes out of some hard form of cotten candy, so if they crash into something or are about to you can eat them or spray them with water and disolve them.

1.5 to 3 billion?
That's a generous estimate.

but the fact is, what if the captain and co-pilot are incapacitated, there is always someone who has enough experience to keep the plane from going down on the crew....that would elimiate that possiblility

What about when the plane flys thru rain???...lmao...has anyone seen final destination?

227*5=1,135
227,000,000(million)*5=1,135,000,000(billion)
227,000,000*10=2,270,000,000(billion)

We have a population of 227Million.

So its 1.135 bilion to 2.27 billion.

The world population is 5.5-5.6 billion i think. 2.2 billion may be a little high. But most americans used to think the same way. So its not that unfesible that alot of other parts of the world still see the same way we used to for whatever reasons. Most of it is probably people who havent changed there minds from before. I think there were alot of people with opinions of some sort about him already. I doubt if those numbers are accurate it has anything to do with new people.

[Dharkbayne]

I doubt half the entire HUMAN RACE thinks that Osama is a good person.
