and it seems some people are objecting rather strongly.

this IMHO is just shocking :O :noid :noid :noid

Well, as long as it makes us safer, then anything they want to do to us is just a OK!

If the Airline wants to do it, then they can.  If you don't like it, then don't patronize them.


It's not a bad idea.  Not great either, though.

What?!?  Who/what/how is this "bracelet" going to be triggered?  Are they going to zap everyone if a hijacker appears?  You don't think a hijacker is going to remove or rip off the bracelet before making themselves known?

I have a better idea.  Let's box passengers up like cattle or monkeys in cages on cargo planes.  That way they can't escape and you can cut costs by cramming more passengers on planes.

Win win!

Defending thinking like this is ridiculous.  If we've become so overwhelmed that we need simple liberties taken away from us, then get the tin foil hats out and pack the family away down in the bomb shelter.

I just signed up to be in the lottery at Southwest.com

They figure a passenger will not zap anyone out of turn - because of the fear of an all-out riot and crashing

Heh.... wrag - wanna take a flight out of Chicago?

 :O

























Wonders how many went to Southwest.com to see

 :rofl

Yeah, I like it. We should go one step further. Every citizen should wear one. Everywhere... Just imagine. What a beautiful and safe world...

Rumor has it the implemented version will more closely and fittingly resemble a dildo.

Don't they think the hijacker would remove or disable the bracelet. How would they control who gets zaped :rolleyes: or who does the zaping. just another thing that could be taken over and used for evil intentions.

I say give everyone a gun with six shots. No one would even stand up to go to the bathroom. :rofl :rofl

Or we should just take the giant leap and tell Airlines that they can't do what they want on their privately owned Airplanes.


If you don't like that you'd be wearing a shock bracelet, don't get on the damn plane.

An added benefit would be the ability for the crew to zap a passenger who complained about the food or grumbled about being stuck on the tarmac for 3 hours, to teach em a lesson.

1.) Technically, airplanes are owned (sometimes) by airlines, which are, mostly, public companies. Very few are privately owned.
2.) Yeah, as long as airlines are bailed out again and again by taxpayers.
3.) Airline business is heavily regulated for several reasons.

4.) Bracelet lovers should move to Iran.
