What we're seeing is an example of people taking control of their own destiny. This is the way it was in early America. People didn't let some bully/thief/rapist or what-have-you, come into town and mess their lives up.
Seems to me there are plenty of Sky Marshals already on these planes today. And they don't need to be paid. They're defending their own lives!
Still, one or two head shots by a Sky Marshal to some terrorists would tend to slow down the terrorist trade some.
At any rate, isn't it great to see people stand up for themselves lately? We need more of that these days!
Well I'll be dipped! A Frenchman who is not a surrender monkey. Wonders willl never cease.
Or a broken jaw when he bit the flight attendant.
Terrorists will NEVER easily hijack a plane or cause harm aboard one ever again. Let's Roll indeed!
