rageaholic, I'd hope you can do better than an effete "lame". Please explain how this nut job did not terriorize the innocent passengers and crew by his overt intentions and actions.
Americans are fed up with assholes disrupting flights and ARE going to take actions to stop them, including the use of injurious and deadly force.
Please excuse our inability to determine a "nutjobs"'s intentions. Most of us do not have the "privilege" of riding your subway which is apparently overflowing with them.
Most of us still take a persons words and actions at face value, be he a "nutjob" or otherwise.
If someone tries to open the door of the plane while we are in flight, I am going to let loose on him!! You are absolutely correct, we are tired of cowering. Those days are over!
Like I said, lame.
