It's time to change our Tune from "God Bless America" To "We Will Rock You!" Also, now that every American has seen this type of terrorism, who is going to stand by while a few knife holding thugs try and hijack an Airplane. No one, just like the last plane to crash, the passengers weren't just going to stand by and do nothing! This makes the possibility of a hijack muck less likely and will take the need to get real weapons on board to a whole other level. I belive we have pretty good security for guns and bombs now. The FAA is going a little overboard. Simple solutions work best. Put an armed guard on the flight or make the opening of the cockpit door after "push back" and before "shut down" illegal and make the door impossible to open from the outside the cockpit. There are two pilots for a reason so this door can be used as a impenetrable wall. They still haven't said how they are going to stop someone from hijacking a private jet and doing the same thing. Which they never could. Can you imagine everyone having to go through a security check just to get on any airport, both controlled or uncontrolled, around the country. That's a dang large number of airports. Aviation will come to a screeching hault if we don't start thinking logically. Just my thoughts on solving the problem without bringing the whole system down.
