The more I think about it, the more ludicrous the airport security seems.

Think about it. How far would anyone get with a box cutter or a nail-file? I'll bet every American has thought to himself or herself, no way is anyone going to take over any plane they're in. I'm sorry, but I think than anyone who tried to take over a plane would be torn limb for limb the second the words came out of his mouth. I'm quite certain that no pilot or stewardess would allow themselve to relinquish control.

We've all done the math. We've all made that decision in our minds. We've all realized that we would have to make the sacrifice.

Hell, that trick didn't even last through the first day it was used. The passengers of flight 93 weren't successful in taking the plane back over, but only because they had already relinquished control. And even in their failure, they were successful in keeping the plane from being used to horrible ends.

It's the classic strategic mistake of fighting the last war.

We are spending billions trying to avoid something that I think most of us would simply never allow to happen.
