Thank you!
Well...it occurs to me that pilots who managed to stall airliners without slats extended would probably find a way to do so WITH slats as well.

Sort of reminds of when nail clippers got banned from airplanes. At that time it occurred to me that someone who can take over an airplane with nail clippers can probably do it WITHOUT nail clippers also...
