señor guitar- talked to juan (my bro)... he had some interesting things to say. 1) they were not allowed to wear their uniforms outside of the secured area. 2) armed federal marshals in the jump seat (third seat in the cockpit right behind the pilot and co-pilot) will probably be the solution. 3) it's going to take hours to clear security. people who are flying less than 500 miles will drive instead of fly. he rode the bus home faster and easier than he could have flown. 4) he was concerned with crowded skies. too many flights bunched too close together... said the next airline disaster we see may be a plane flipping out of control from wake turbulence. they're running planes too close behind each other to expedite heavy schedules. he's almost lost control in wingtip vorticies twice in the last few months. i didn't ask him about live cameras but here's my take. i don't want an f-16 shooting me out of the sky because they see a hijacker in my plane - i at least want a chance to overpower him before i'm shot down by cap'n rambler (he's a good shot and he's trigger happy from too much simulated combat). <G> -ex pilot
