I think the cited article makes some realistic points about screening passengers for more thorough checks on the basis of how they purchased their ticket, luggage, and demographic data. I know that demographic data makes us all uncomfortable due to infringement on rights this has brought in other law enforcement venues; but I don't know how to avoid it and still keep people safe.<br /><br />I actually try not to fly as much as possible for a myriad of reasons, but sometimes it can not realistically be avoided.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692160455833039396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434842591971703006.post-43546246223139280912010-01-07T05:58:29.918-08:002010-01-07T05:58:29.918-08:00But the current policy of frisking old ladies out ...But the current policy of frisking old ladies out of some sort of "fairness-we're going to only search randomly" idea is pure bunk.J Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746127431922685446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434842591971703006.post-8169910921165373002010-01-06T23:08:58.128-08:002010-01-06T23:08:58.128-08:00Yeah, but if you don't fly, the terrorists sor...Yeah, but if you don't fly, the terrorists sort of already won.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434842591971703006.post-84433891207364978892010-01-05T17:34:36.097-08:002010-01-05T17:34:36.097-08:00Or the sudden impact with something.Or the sudden impact with something.photogrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149737419546300220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434842591971703006.post-40110348847135988982010-01-05T17:33:39.970-08:002010-01-05T17:33:39.970-08:00Never did like to fly.

The passengers are always the heroes.<br /><br />Here's another idea: design the armrest to pull out and be used as a club in the event of an in-flight attack.
