What are you smoking?

The ramp people working for these "secure" airlines have again and again
shown to be the weak link. The TSA/FAA/et.al. haven't shown that hi-jackings
aren't still possible, only tougher to accomplish.

There is no real security on these big airliners.

I don't have a problem with an ADIZ. The problem I have is that
airliners which can carry more explosives than a Ryder truck are
allowed to fly in it, but GA planes are not.


Commercial air carriers have tightened their security to the point
where (I suspect) it would be impossible for a 9/11-style attack to
succeed again using commercial airliners as weapons.

Not to mention the fact that the passengers would immediately and
violently resist, as opposed to the pre-9/11 hands-in-your-lap approach
to a hijacking.
