#3 Any knife short of a Crocadile Dundee should no longer be enough for a sucessful hijack unless the hostages aer pussies.

#5 Just remember to use your seat cushion as a shield against knives, box cutters, etc. - and the fire extinguisher as your offensive weapon - to blind and bludgeon - then pile on and pound the living shit out of 'em. It'll feel so fucking good that you'll prolly pass on the ticket refund the airline will offer.

#6 More info here-- One man is described as a Briton from southeast London. The other was a Norwegian Muslim traveling with four other muslim men...both men were detained briefly but allowed to continue their journey.

#7 I still say use the guy who cranks his chair back into your knees as your human shield.

Why not give the stewards/stewardesses a taser?
