Sadly, the failure of the good Muslims to sort out the rotten apples in their midst led to them all being painted with the same brush.

Seems history is repeating itself ... :-(

I'd like to think I would.

I'm actually flying from Heathrow airport to Poland on the morning of 9/11 (or 11/9 as we'd say here ;-) ). Have I thought about the possibility of hijacking? Oh yes. I'd like to think I'd do something about it and try to stop the hijackers from carrying out their plan!

The other threat at the moment is from an anti-aircraft missile launched at planes either taking off or landing at Heathrow.. not much one can do about that, I guess!

My prayers will be with you, as they are with all Americans during these trying times:

Mmm-hmm. I'm flying to England on the 15th. My thought on the subject is that while I'm not a strong man I'll do my best. Hopefully *everyone* flying shares that sentiment. Believing one word that emerges from the mouth of a post 9-11 hijacker is simple cowardice.
