Hi Bruce. We've met before in Portland, OR at a book signing.
I agree. Before 9/11, I carried a Buck knife everywhere I went.
I would not have hesitated to use it to incapacitate a hijacker.
Now, I don't have that option.
But, the simple fact of the matter is this: If anyone tries to hijack a plane now, they will be ripped from limb to limb by their fellow passengers.
"Enhanced security" has nothing to do with this. Stronger cockpit doors were a very good idea, though.
Thank you for being a voice of sanity.

Well, if you think about this at all, it is pretty clear that a hijacker's fellow passengers ripping them limb-from-limb is the actual deterrent.
The billions we spent on the TSA have, effectively, been a waste.
Passengers will never again be passive in the face of aggression.
EDIT: That said, separating me from my Buck knife makes air travel less safe.

I don't trust any company with Condoleeza Rice on the board to deploy effective crypto.
EDIT: or more pointedly: to give a shit about your privacy.
