mr. 5.o in your very, very long replies...you have said one thing that is extremely accurate...our nation as a whole has become very, very non confrontational.
People in a whole do not like to fight, I see this every day.
I would like to defend some of my ideas, which have been distorted by some.
let me say first...this is only a solutions to problems in the air...If I had the answers to terrorism in any form....I would not be doing what I do for a living...and would make much, much more money than I do.
The idea of a "bullet" proof door or whatever anyone wants to call it is not all that hard to make a reality. The weight...so we do not carry 200 pass. now, only 180. Now their luggage is not on the plane, even less weight.
The idea that if they can get to the cockpit, the pilot can some how bargain for tpass. lives is wishfull thinking. Yes peopole will die in the pass compartment because the pilot will not open the door. Somebody said that the pilots can not save the pass. lives. Last I knew the pilot does fly the plane. WHen the #### hits the fan, the plane can now be brought down by the person who can do it safely. The pass will most likely die in this situation. But if the pilot remains in control of the plane, some may live, and the plane does not become a missile. The arabs become pissed and kill all pass. on the plane with box cutters before it lands, unlikely.
I never said ARMED guards. MAybe I did not clarify this, but I was getting at plain clothed MArshals...gaurds....whatever. I carry a gun every day, but I am not sure I would want it in the plane....anybody familiar with what is called a bean bag gun?? This is an option....very effective. OR no guns at all, just trained professionals that are randomly placed throughout the plane...would be a step in the right direction.
Somome said we need to gain their respect....I wish that could happen....but I think most will agree that you can not make everyone happy. This is demonstrated in this forum right now.
You can not please everyone...and when the U.S. is a sbig as we are, some will always hate us.
