I'm fairly certain American pilots would, if they were in a 9/11 type


In a new 9/11 situation the hijackers wouldn't have made it out
of their seats. The other passengers would disembowel them with
plastic cutlery and use their guts to tie the remains into very
small bundles. Some looney went nuts on a plane here recently and
wound up subject to the undivided attention of some very ****ed
off fellow passengers.
Anything that looks even slightly hinky around me gets reported
and I start looking for something to use as a weapon until the
cavalry arrives.

The one all purpose carry on weapon still allowed is the big heavy
cowboy belt buckle. Slip off the belt and raise hell.

Sorry for the rant and the unrealistic scenario, but it just blows my
mind that only slightly more than a dozen fighters were on station.
Might as well phase out NORAD altogether except for missile defense
and retaliation.
