True ONLY is the human factors are taken into account, whereby
procedurally, and under no circumstances, shall a pilot open up the
cabin door, due to fear for his flight crew or passengers.
What I find interesting, in a most negative way, is that on any
flight, one can see the pilots leave the cabin, talk to the flight
crew, where the cabin door is open. At the beginning of a flight, the
cabin door is open the entire time, and even though the aircraft is
on the ground, what is to stop one who is intent on taking over the
plane, at this moment. The only alternative to stop a terrorist act
is for the aircraft to be shot down prior to its taking a suicide
mission.
The bottom line, not enough people, either the govt., airlines or
population, take these potential threats serious enough. Everyone
wants to go about their daily lives, not taking into account that
there are some very bad people out there, who will make us all sorry,
another day. I am sick and tired of hearing from politicians, that
nothing has happened since 9-11. Well, nothing happened at WTC
between 1993 (I think it was) and 9-11. Do you all feel secure? Do
you believe the BS we hear every day from those who I believe, can
not protect us, one bit.
