They're Americans, just like us. Please keep that in mind, and try to keep it at the top, while the rage boils. Yes the people who took over the planes are of this culture, and yes they were in America. Again, I know this sounds weird coming from me. I know I criticize these people in the Middle East because I have to pay more money to put gas in my car, but this is on a completely different level.
Airplanes are obviously dangerious weapons now.
We must now make our nation's, and indeed the world's, airspace safer. Well, I think the FAA's changes are far too small. The knife restriction is a good place to start. Also, while I was watching Larry King Live on CNN the other night, one guy called in and asked why we don't just totally seal the pilots into the cabin, and not have ANY access to the plane from the cabin. I think this is a very good idea, and it would seem to me that this would have stopped what happened.
