Polvies.. A couple other thoughts..... Since autopilot systems are able to take off, fly to a destination and land, if allowed to. Maybe there should be a way to lock in the auto pilot and lock out a hijacker.... or, maybe we could develop a remote flight capability where the plane can be removed from control of a hijacker by controllers.

it's going to take hours to clear security. It should be a lot of fun for my family and I during the Christmas rush... Luckily we will be leaving from a small airport near us instead of JFK or LaGuardia. We will eventually be landing in El Paso. Did he sleep in the airport or find a hotel? I guess the pilot have sleeping rooms in the airport, no? It must have really sucked for anyone travelling on Tuesday. I can't even stand getting a few hour delay. I can't imagine how crowded it must have been in those airports. Besides being scarey... I wonder how long of a drive it would be for me from NY to Las Cruces... -g -ng -MicrosoftFlightSchoolGraduate

Polvo, (he's a good shot and he's trigger happy from too much simulated combat). I resemble that remark. i at least want a chance to overpower him before i'm shot down by cap'n rambler You know what. I was just telling my wife that I would do the same thing. I think most people will do that now. Any hijackers get into the air, the minute they try anything, half the planes passengers will take em out.....hopefully before they get to the pilots. I mean, why not? We know that if we sit back and hope for a peaceful solution, we and more will die. Simple solution there. They'll give up on that approach. :0) Ramblin
