True - and now its possible since a hijacker is not getting guns and bombs on-board anymore. Remember, they used boxcutters and small knives - an overwhelming force can (and I believe did) over take them. And yes, if I was on a plane that unfortunately was hijacked, I'd be willing to do just as the captian stated. I still think tear gas or nitrious oxide would work too no? I'd also like to pass this along: For people interested in the Federal Air Marshal program, the FAA is recruiting Federal Air Marshals. The vacancy announcement is now posted on the FAA's employment Web site at jobs.faa.gov. Here you can find out about the job, compensation, qualification requirements, and how to apply. Let's hope they get some of our best and finest...for all our sakes.
