I'd love to see some more selection of people capable of acting rationally in an emergency! Maybe they give a 'free pass' to all those that are in / have been in the emergency services (firefighters, police, etc.) or military, provided they are still physically able (maybe not the 90 year old veteran in a wheelchair, in other words). For the rest of the populations, how about a course you can attend at your local airport to prove you have what it takes (run through drills, etc.) so whilst it can't guarantee you won't panic in an emergency, at least you would be far better prepared to act?
