Passenger lights firecrackers in NWA cabin, injuries reported

[Tweaker]

Wow, can you lump anything else in to your favorite "slur"? Maybe the plague or cancer?

At long last, have you no sense of decency?

The previous poster called PC a problem. Who invented and insists upon it? = Liberals. It is only a "slur" if you agree with me! If not, proudly march around with your Liberal dunce cap on, and we will both be happy. It is your right to feel that way and promote it. Do you feel bad? Most liberals do. They have very overactive guilt/shame glands. Take two doses of freedom, and call me in the morning.

I need to have decency, and the Politically Correct mentality (the soft on our enemy mentality) of Liberals has KILLED millions. Which is the bigger crime? I have offended your sensibilities? For shame!

Why don't we just stop with the political identity bullsh** and focus on reality.

It has already started. A new kneejerk directive from TSA announced this morning to the airlines.

Crewmembers are not to make any announcements to the passengers or to talk to them individually about the flight path, cities or landmarks flying over. On international flights only to the U.S., passengers are to remain in their seats during the last 1 hr of flight or the entirety if the flight is 1 hr or less.

What about the airshow on the video systems? As far as I know there is no way to deactivate it without turning off the entertainment system.

Anyone read the new TSA Security Directives resulting from this incident? more annoying changes in order...

Anyone read the new TSA Security Directives resulting from this incident? more annoying changes in order...

• Pat downs of passengers at airport security, concentrating on the upper torso and legs;
• Physical inspections of all carry-on bags at the gate;
• Requiring all passengers to be seated for the full hour prior to arrival;
• Banning the use of blankets and pillows one hour prior to arrival.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said travelers should expect additional steps as well. "These measures are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same thing everywhere.

This could be good for commuters, I cannot stand the guys that talk over the PA for 10minutes talking about the wx 3 times in a row, few bumps on the descent, and we're passing between 2 cities only I the capt of this flight know about so I will tell you all I know about them.

I agree, but that won't happen. Not only that, it's what they want--to be martyrs. You're dealing with kamikazis.

Can we say knee-jerk reaction?

Now we're hearing that this guy never was on the no-fly list as originally reported. All this could of been avoided if someone had done their job properly. The FBI says this guy was being watched for the past 2 years and believed to be a terrorist but no one told TSA to put him on the no-fly list.

 

[Iceman540]

Apparently he never received the Al Qaeda internal memo about only using fireworks on July 4th if performing a terrorist attack on the US, and November 5th if against the UK....Brings a whole new meaning to the expression "Crotch Rocket".

I wonder what they are going to do with the fancy TV's that have the little airplane on the map?

Was just told by an FO friend at brand X getting ready to depart for Europe who said their IFE must be turned off for the ENTIRE flight except for the safety demo! Cabin lighting must remain on as well!

WTF!??
