ACORD: Before last Tuesday, I would have agreed with you. But there is a new paradigm in hijacking.

I personally believe that not only should folks take matters into their own hands should this ever happen again, I would love to see the deterrent value of a preflight announcement something to the effect of: "In the unlikely event of a hijacking, all able-bodied men and women should attack the hijackers by any means possible. To be most effective, once one person attacks, everyone should follow."

I'm totally serious. There is a new paradigm here and it calls for new rules. The old ones no longer apply.
