If You Could Choose Your Fellow Passengers...
Rob Long, writing in the current issue of National Review, makes this observation in his article, "The Glove Will Not Save You":
"We all know who will save us from the terrorists, and it isn't the guys in the uniforms. It's one another. Every furious, cranky, stressed-out passenger on the plane. We're one another's first--and last--line of defense. And I don't know about you, but that honestly makes me feel safer. A lot safer."
So with that in mind, if you could choose your fellow passengers, whom would you want on the same flight with you?
