This shows how close we came to losing 300 airpline passengers on the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit last Christmas.

Please view the video at the link.

Yes.

Let me carry a pistol and I be OK.

Are you willing to let your kids go through the PORN scanners if Scott Ritter and Kevin Jennings are operating them?

[tallyhoe]

No but I refuse to go through their security checks to obtrusive!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ExtremeUnction]

I'll fly regionally in the US, but not internationally, and no major US routes. No way.

I’m not afraid to fly. I’m boycotting the airlines due to reduced leg room, having to remove shoe/belt/etc., having to arrive at the airport hours early, having to pay for my bags, having to pay for my snacks, etc. Airlines do not want my business.

I love to fly and have never feared being in the air. I fear letting psychopathic cowards destroy the country I love. If any one of those SOB’s ever makes it onto my plane, I will hope for an opportunity to kill him. Ever since 9/11, we are all soldiers in waiting.

I’m not afraid of flying...I do however object to security checks that do nothing to improve security. Most of these measures are designed as feel-good procedures; they are supposed to make us feel safe. The reality is that they don’t keep us safe at all.

Now maybe if the airlines start profiling, I might feel better.

I’m not afraid to fly but worry constantly when my kids and grandkids fly,which is fairly often.

[Free Vulcan]

Yes, except for Quantas...

I fly regionals quite a bit. I'm far more afraid of dying at the hand of a 25 year old pilot than I am of Mohammed Atta's cousin.

Fly on a Colgan Air SAAB-340 from Boston to Presque Isle and let me know who you fear more.

The TSA is not the airlines.

Nah, I am not afraid to fly. We flew to Tampa for the Outback Bowl and I would not change the experience we had on the flight to B’ham. We noticed that one of the stewardesses kept leaning over to look out our front row window. We leaned over too, after she asked us what the orange glow was. A guy on the other side said it was just the plane lights but we decided that was not it. We kept looking and it turned out to be the most beautiful moonrise we had ever seen. The pilot came on and told everyone to look out our side windows to see the blue moonrise. It was a sight I will never forget.

300 airpline passengers

Google is launching a commie attack by not recognizing "airpline" as a word!

Not really, it is just my red-neck spelling skils.

My daughter is a flight attendant and these are the things that worry me most.

Thanks, aBum for directions on how to use and where to find binary explosives. Dumbasses.

A good weapon to take on a plane is to sharpen your tooth brush and take it in your carry on or in your pant line.. Just saying..
