RE:"The FAA and the Bush administration are killing the airline industry and damaging the economy further by first grounding everybody and then slowing everybody down to a crawl with ludicrous security measures. All they have to do now is put an FBI agent on every flight. Long-term they have to mandate appropriate training and arming the crew of every commercial jet." I agree, the airline industry and those who depend on it like AMD for shipment (On Topic) are in big trouble... but Bush and the FAA? I doubt too many people want to fly without new security measures. I am at a loss by your statement. If anything security is way too lax, even now. FBI agents cost way to much. They have to have a law degree to boot except in special circumstances. Makes little sense to put FBI agents on planes. We could always go back to sky marshalls with non fuselage penetrating bullets or better yet use the milatary to ride on the planes...this could be divied up between the active & reservists who get together once a month to play army anyway. Let them ride the planes. They next thing they need to do is install steel cockpit doors. Never to be opened even if the highjackers threaten crew and passengers. As far as pilots being trained to fight terrorists...well they have a hard enough time flying the plane, asking them to have swat training is a reach. Arming them may no be a bad idea. Like you I think we are in grave danger...particularly the DOW stocks... NASDAQ is close to wash out not... Wouldn't be surprised to see a short term rally though.
