Don't know if this has already been posted or not. Col. Oliver North came up with an excellent suggestion on his radio show yesterday. He says he always tries to sit near the emergency exits on the plane, and if all else failed to stop a terrorist takeover one might:
1. Tighten ones seat belt
2. reach down and grab the handle
3. Yank!
4. Watch as the terrorist goes outside at 35,000 feet through the miracle of explosive decompression.
(caution this should only be done as a last ditch effort to keep the plane from being used as a guided missle; you also might want to try to catch any flight attendants etc... that might go zooming by)
Might not be the best way to stop them but almost anything has to be better than the deaths of innocents on the ground. At the very least it will set off a number of alarms in the cockpit and possibly be enough to distract the terrs away from their goals until interceptors can arrive.
Quaedam non iura scripta sed omnibus scriptis certiora sunt
Some laws are unwritten, but they are better established than all written ones
