It is all Bill Gates fault, Microsoft Flight Simulator
software allows any sky lune itic to practice the task of
flying into a building in their choice of aircraft. I think
the earlier versions even had the NYC skyline and WTC on the
box cover.

Certainly, it is not possible to learn how to steer and
airplane anywhere else in the world, except the USA. There
are no airplanes in the Mid-East, Far-East, Africa or any
place other than Florida, Texas, and California.

What I want to know is when will the government and the
anti-weapons/self-defense crowd admit that the security
rules themselves left the passenger and crew in an unarmed
and [mentally] defenseless state. Had every passenger had a
6 shot 38 or 45 revolver and instructions to , sit in your
seat and shot anybody who causes trouble, NONE of those
airliners would have been hijacked.
To those who will say that the possibility of gun fire in
the cabin would cause explosive decompression, remember that
FAR 25 airplanes are designed and have been so for decades,
to resist and handle damage to the structure and explosions
that can leave a 20 sq. ft. hole in the fuselage. The out
flow valve will just close a little bit for a few dozen
bullets holes.

But it is felt that death in a plane crash or with your
throat cut by a terrorists is better than having citizens
armed and acting in their own best interest.
