My Theory Was Tested

Last week I wrote about our airways being safer not because of gestapo-like security checkpoints at airports but because as a flying public, we got a rude-awakeing and we because aware of the threat we face. (see Idiots and Airport Security Topic)

Case-in point:

"This guy just bolted. He screamed as he flew by here. He was heading for the cockpit," Crowley-Friendly said. "This fabulous stewardess just grabbed him by the collar and he screamed again."

Her husband, Andy Friendly, and three other passengers tackled him, she said.

Imagine that...

No Federal Air Marshalls to shoot the guy... Security searches at the airport didn't prevent the guy from charging the cockpit.

John Q. Public took care of the problem. Your average law-abiding citizen. Accomplishing something that BILLIONS of dollars of federal monies and freedom-raping practicies couldn't prevent.
