That is not what is deterring them.

That's gone now forever and it isn't coming back. bcnu, Mikem If you can read this, you are not the President.

Unless they have serious firepower and not just knives - nobody in an airplane anywhere in the world will ever again remain spam-in-a-can. Memories (or imaginations will do as well) of the Pennsylvania crash will lend courage - swarm quickly and you might even get out alive. So plugging THAT loophole over and over .. betrays the unimaginitive minds that an admin such as this one Would employ. Let's be "Conservative" and plan for the Last One.

Until we can transport ourselves to the airport in something less backward than an automobile, we remain in grave danger. (I know, in the larger metro areas this is already possible, but in the even modestly rural areas, there is no alternative to late 19th/early 20th century technology [read: automobiles] for transportation). bcnu, Mikem If you can read this, you are not the President.
