That's an extremely unfair comment. The hijacking policy at that time was still
based on the "Take me to Cuba" scenarios. Until 9/11 no one had hijacked an
airliner to use as a weapon. On the one aircraft where the passengers had an
inkling of what was really going on they apparently did fight back and died trying
to take control of the aircraft. In the case of Reid (the shoe bomber) passengers
reacted swiftly and decisively. You should be ashamed of a statement like that.
