[CAP1]

and it seems some people are objecting rather strongly.

this IMHO is just shocking

and the funy thing is that if the terrorists strik again, it won't be through avaition. if they do somehow, the terrorists will manage to not have one of these units on

It's not just "Terrorists" who hijack planes. 9-11 wasn't the first time some idiot took control of a plane full of people, its just the first time they flew it into a building.

I say yes, go for it. I fly a lot, hell Im leaving on a trip in two days and I wouldn't mind wearing one of these. Granted, the hijacker (if smart) would take it off before attacking, but what if he doesn't? If the bracelet is removed, we're back to square one, but no worse than before. If he doesnt, then hey! We already have the advantage! If an airline wants to institute it individually then fine. If you don't like it, fly another airline. I don't think it should be a policy instituted by the government though.

Ya, but what if he is carrying a buttcrack knife?  Then we are just screwed.

Heh, do you read newspapers? Half of the terrorists are in Gitmo, the other half in Iraq and Afghanistan, where we are winning decisively. The few managing to escape our wrath and hide in Iran will be used by Israeli AF for practice targets.

Besides, if oil prices don't fall anytime soon, there will be no airlines left. So, bracelets are waste of resources...

just suffice it to say....the stated intentions are very very good. the actual use that will eventually will come is not.
i wouldn't let em get a foot in the door on this one. there's much better ways to deal with hijackers. look at the isrealies. have they had an airliner hijacked since the late 70's? or was it the 80's?

anyway........

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.

The Airlines aren't owned by the government.  So we shouldn't be able to just blatantly tell them what they can or can't do. 

Bail outs are an entirely different issue.


I personally wouldn't wear one nor patronize any airline that demanded that I do.  However, I, unlike you, am not a socialist.  It is not my right to tell a company what they can or can not do when it comes to their safety procedures.

I can choose not to buy their tickets.  And if enough people also do the same, they will either have to choose to get rid of the bracelets to sell more tickets, or they will have to fold.

But I'll be Golly-geened if I'm going to let socialists believe they are allowed to dictate other people's rules.

I think only the pilots should wear the bracelet. Being zaped once every 5 min is the best way to make sure those monkeys pay attention.

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!

It's a WIN WIN only if I can throw my feces at the other passengers.

If you're going to be intentionally dense, you might as well not post.


If you actually are dense, then I apologize.

Are you owned by the government? Yet they are telling you what you can and can't do and you comply. Why should airline have more freedom then individual?

They tell me what I can and can't do to another unwilling (for the most part) individual.



Seriously.  Are you people intentionally being retarded?  Or is it just that time of month again?

that's why airbus has auto everything in their airliners

Well, I'll let you be, since great book of capitalism says that according to amount of taxes you paid, O'Club is the only place you're allowed to talk.

Well that would work if the airlines hadn't lobbied the government to institute the hub system after deregulation in the 70's.

The way it is now, you pretty much use the company that serves the area or you drive, not many gates open to the competition.
