Good comments made but remember, these come at a time when we realize the situation afterwards and have had time to plan and organize. These terrorists are highly disciplined and organized. This is their work. And there is nothing more fearful than someone who does not care to die while we do.

However, it seems that as FTers we think fast on our feet and once someone takes the lead, others would follow. Now of course, we would be more prepared if this incident were to occur again as we march on with our laptops and seat cushions as shields.

I do have to admit that when flying before, I used have a box cutter or scissors with me to cut out Kellogg's boxes if I found them at better deals than at home. I would have certainly taken mine out as a weapon to fight back. But with the new FAA security, I would now be deemed more defenseless.
