""It's a very risky proposition," Deeks said. "I realize passengers are going to act out..."

Act out? That's what you term a two-year old doing if he doesn't get attention. How about "fighting back"?

NO, no glue gun, just the stick. You must have never seen one. Go to a hardware store, or craft store and look at one, a ten inch stick. and smack yourself in the hand lightly and see how it STINGS!! After you smack the terrorist with it, cram it down his throat. Understand Now??!

A ten inch glue stick is somwhat flexible and it meant to STING. And I took one on board with me last month with no trouble at all.

As a preteen I once smacked a much bigger, older, bully across the back with a simple little plastic baseball bat, and it made his back sting so bad he was on the ground writhing in pain for quite a while.

--I'm in favor (until they get real on firearms) of an older laptop that still works, but is crappy. You got two good thrown weapons, the separate battery, and the laptop itself. some laptops like the old mac duos got two batts, so you got three 'shots' there. Another good stealth weapon is a ten pound funk and wagnalls assault dictionary, or similar large hard cover book.

...but a flight attendants' union official called Detrich's proposal "very dangerous."

No doubt headed and penned by a N.O.W./sucker mom/million mooer who would prefer to fly to her death.

If you can throw accuratly, take some "assult" golf balls on board with you. But Don't miss the terrorists and hit me!
