simple solution to hijacking problem

Unit 5302 · 09-12-2001, 06:47 PM

How hard is it to take out two armed police officers with a couple terrorists carrying box knifes? Pretty fin hard. It's not even how hard it would be, it's the the deterrance factor. Police work much better as a deterrant than interrupting crimes.

So Mr 5.0, you would argue barracading the doors and having the passengers fend for themselves is a bad idea? A few thousand people who died at the World Trade Center might disagree with you. You want people to fight back? They have to have a reason and be cornered. Like if they know the pilot can't help them or give the terrorists what they want. I would have beat the damn terrorists till they quit moving. It was rumored they had mace, I don't care, spray me with it, you're next box cutter boy!!!! Hurting me would only piss me off more. If the people on board that flight would have rushed the terrorists would it have been considered a victory to Bin Laden? In that case what would have been the passenger count? 2-3? If they had succeeded in killing every passenger on board those flights and nothing else, would it have been a victory? Hell no. Years of planning, training,resources, and funding went into this.
