Because he ruins my theory, I refuse to recognize your example as legitimate.

:-D

Of course, if someone with a gun is incapacitated on a flight, who knows who might pick it up?

Aren't wild card arguments and conjecture fun? :D

wow...interesting...I was being purely hypothetical, though, just so you know. I'm not afraid of flying at all...I was just rolling around in my brain how I might feel if someone(s) suspicious like that got on a plane I was on...would I still not be afraid? I don't know...I was just curious.

Good information though. :)

It is sort of like the Russian school incident. That was carried out due to the people who worked for the school over the summer. They were the ones who planted the bombs for the terrorists, weren't they? So definately the clean up crews, etc. should be made to go through an exstensive background check.

I read somewhere that that story has been debunked.

"Hmm...I had a friend who workED for TSA, and she never mentioned to me that they screened the cleaning crews...are you sure this is a TSA failure??"

Considering the access they are given to the a/c, it would seem logical to screen the cleaning crews.

It would seem logical to screen them. But if they don't, then this wasn't the TSA's fault this time. I don't know if they do or don't. I just have never heard of them doing so.

YUP , those terrorists sure pulled a fastone in russia. I hope building inspectors are watching stuff closely. soon we'll have to XRay entire buildings.
