Paranoia and fear abound. If a freakin' box cutter is enough to cause a airline to land one of there planes, then it's no wonder the terrorists think they can defeat us.

If the pilots had been carrying guns, this would not have been an incident. The plane would have continued en route to Hawaii, and the feds could have done their questioning there.

Amen Mulder. I'm sickened by this. Are we now a nation of weenies?

Better than that, I think the flight attendants should be armed. That way, the pilots can concentrate on flying. :-D

If anyone paid attention to the Constitution or Bill Of Rights, over half the people on that flight would have been armed, and laughed at the boxcutter.

Thank you for flying Liberty Airlines.
Have a safe flight!

If the airlines had not allowed visiting "pilots" to sit in the cockpit during flight, this might not have been an incident either.
