Anyway, this horse is beyond dead. Bowing out now. Just wanted to add my worthless opinion to the mix.

Laters, all. Back to lurking.

Can your house be used like a missle?

No govt presence on border, either? Does the govt have the right to patrol it?

Anyone can fly a plane over, say, the White House who chooses?

Domination of airspace is military 101. no...

Again, bullshit hijacking without using violence. The real test comes when people are dead and dying in the aisles, screaming and people have to jump up, with no plan, no coordination, and leap into...

I'm confused - is it an issue of whether or not a government can control it airspace? Or the actual legality of how it is doing so?

No sir. That's not allowed.

LOL


Do you believe this is trainable? Can you train character and personality?


Grossman estimates somewhere around 20% of people will respond innately. How effectively they respond...

My pleasure. It's a urbane discussion, very pleasant and interesting points of view.

Quite a few of them have one.

Possibly.

Whatever the reason, though, they are persistent and focused on it.

We've wondered that ourselves, many times. Yet they still come back to civilian aviation, time and time again.

FFDOs can't go to foreign countries. Their call, that whole sovereign nation thing. As for Israeli profiling, the laws of this country won't allow it. We have to do searches based on suspicion or...

I was with you until here.

TSA has a lot of problems, but they aren't completely unable to detect this. The cord would show up on either X-ray of your bag or the personal X-ray thing. The...

Repost.

Was thinking federal. I'm federal these days.....


Pax could have carried knives. They were permitted at the time, which is why the terror teams chose them. They chose not to, just as most today...

Nope. Got no problems carrying there.

Okay, here is my bullshit thoughts on the subject, as promised (or threatened? )

There is the problem of mixing theoretical and practical concerns. Yes, having many armed people on an airliner...

Not the same, sir.

Nope. Only in places like court houses and airplanes, or other places of national security.

I used to be active on this forum. I'm not so much anymore - life got in the way of my internet habits. :D Still, I saw the thread and had to respond.
