DUCT TAPE, give me a break. If someone can make a weapon to commandeer or disable a plane they should be given a Nobel Prize. I'm completely befuddled. Maybe in the future we will all just fly completely naked and sans any sort of carry on whatsoever. Airplanes will be like a giant flying German sauna - without the heat. Next, they will begin confiscating rubber bands because they could be flipped as a projectile at the FA's and other airline personnel.
