There was a short blurb on that on Fox News y'day. Not much detail about it, though. I'm glad that some schools are finally coming to their senses WRT to such things. Being passive in a hostile situation is almost never the right thing to do.

I used to travel a lot for business, and often my compadres would talk about what to do in case of a hijack, and my response was always to get as aggressive as possible. Some folks would intentionally sit as far from me as possible on the plane, but others, probably about 60% of them, would get aisle seats near me, "just in case." Nothing ever happened except for one drunk getting loud, but it sure made things feel better knowing that there were others with the same philosophy.
