The rules changed on 09-11. We as an industry had not taken a proper account that there is a group of people who are willing to kill themselves, and murder uncounted thousands in order to proof some vague point, using an airplane as a weapon. Passengers have to realize that when a similar situation occurs, the rules have changed. It is not a matter of the hijackings of the 70’s. These lasted a number of days, got lots of press, and the world moved on. Now the airplane has become the weapon. Passengers have a direct responsibility for their own lives. They and the crew are the last line of defense. I would like to see passengers at least give some thought about this, and what they are willing to do if they are ever confronted with a hijacking. No criticism is implied pre 09-11. But putting all the emphasis on the government and industry, without some self-reflection is not the way to go.
