Post Frightened ? I am

This BBC report is on a training course for people worried about flying held by an ex cop in the USA. It includes tips on making weapons from drinks cans etc so that passengers can 'retake' an aircraft and fly it to safety.

<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/americas/newsid_1841000/1841491.stm" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/americas/newsid_1841000/1841491.stm</a>

Now I am worried about flying.

Oh Great teach the scared people to make weapons so that the Hyjacker can take them away and use them against the crew. Who's brilliant idea was that? It already totally suks to get plastic silverware, now we will get nothing because anything can technically be used as a weapon.

A good swift kick to the dingleberries would be better than cutting yourself so bad you lose a hand on some jurry rigged "can knife" me thinks!

At least Bin Laden got his lads to learn to fly the aircraft as well.

Thoughts of John-Boy and Billy-Bob joy riding a 767 though the skies that they have just 'retaken' from a harmless Asian travelling in First who looked 'dodgy' does scare me. I do hope the airlines bring pressure to bear to stop this. Terrorists need to be stopped on the ground at checkin. That includes these idiots.

Not really unexpected is it?

Not really surprised that it took place in the backroom of a gun shop.

Countryside of US in a nutshell!
