After 9/11, I think most passengers would storm the guy. There have been some fatalities amongst people who acted up on airplanes. The problem is that if there is a group of them, people may stop, but I think most would storm the b#stards:smash:
Yea, that would make sense if some dumbass was sitting there with bic lighter in one hand and heel with a fuse sticking out of it in the other. But you have to consider that once a bomb maker designs a bomb with electronic ciruitry, he can wire any number of triggering devices...including a dead man switch, a mecury switch, alitimetry switches, timers, etc, etc.

Pushing somone's hand off of a bomb when you know nothing about its construction, is negligently foolhardy to say the least.

If they think they're getting access to the cockpit by assembling a stun gun, they've got another thing coming.
Do they still have seat back cell phones on airliners these days?

Use your imagination, it's the oldest trick in the book for bank robbers...a sort of home operated business, you might say.

I guess I don't have much of an imagination. I have no idea what you are talking about.

So, a MUCH better idea is to just sit there while these guys take over the airplane and crash it into some "target".

I still stand by my statement that I am willing to call the guys hand.

I bow to your obvious superior intelect.

What's your next response? "I know you are, but what am I?"
I think your homies down in Miami wasted their one phone call trying to get ahold of you.
 
You could just sit there and do nothing. Bush sat there for over 7 minutes on 911 and did nothing. Some people were saving lives, some were losing there life. What would you do in 7 minutes? Reality he couldn't save anyone at that moment. However you don't just sit there like a deer caught in the headlights.
 
7 minutes? What was he suppose to do, run around in circles and get on the phone and start barking orders?

Who timed him?
