Once all the flight attendants are processed, as they come back one at a time to see why they haven't seen their co-workers for a while, then you creep forward, zip-tying each aisle passenger to their seat arms as they sleep on this mythical red-eye. And then you reach the cockpit door with a plane-full of immobilized human cargo, you inspect the armored door, and exclaim: "THWARTED AGAIN!!!" in impotent rage.
Really? What sort of pulp fiction writers does DHS have on staff to dream this crap up?
The folks on the other end of my conference call couldn't understand why I was suddenly snorting with laughter. Thanks for the Friday afternoon entertainment (I don't think I'll get this scenario out of the brain for many flights ahead!).
