Al, Cov,

Thanks for developing this - that was where I was trying to get to.

If we think of the probable Pax aborted Hijack of 9 11, and we assume that it really was a Pax anti-Hijack attempt - that to me is the right attitude, and if we gotta go - not the worst way to go.

So do we have to say - you have Sky Marshal(s) and they are fully competent to think for you. Because that brings the biggest dilema of all. The crew knows that we have the marshals, but they are NOT on every flight - so I the PAX, who just happen to be in the majority if we ever decide to go back to flying - don't know that.

SO WHEN DO I START AND STOP THINKING - Boy George you have created another foot in your mouth, because if a sky marshal screws up, with the american (let your lawyer help himself and perhaps you as well) legal system, if I was on board, I guess my wife's pension plan is just dandy, knowing our lawyer.

Sorry for convoluted asides in the text, but its way past my jet lagged bed time.
