Sure, 1873 45 Colt, S&W No. 3, or a modern S&W with full
moon clips in 45 ACP.

BTW, does anybody know the lethal; weapon provided to all
passengers compartments on every airliner today? There are
dozens of these lethal impact weapons provided.


Wine bottles
Pens
Corkscrew
Device for heating liquid
Seat power outlets
Boarding passes

Well, they already have a phone.

Well, they already have a phone.

then remove the cockpit and the pilots altogether from commercial
aircraft, i.e., UAV version of all airliners, problem solved (and
while you are at it, offshore the remote controlling of said UAVs,
thus killing two birds in one stroke, i.e., highjacking problem,
and cost reduction for the airlines) -- then of course one could
argue that the highjacker wouldn't have to bother going into the
aircraft in the first place and could do it from the ground as well,
but you'll always have people whining about this or that...

Sounds nice but there are still ways to bring down a plane without
breaching the cockpit...

Yep. But the max number of casualties would be the number of pax and
whoever happens to be beneath it. No more human cruise missiles.

So you think that 800 victims would be not enough for a suicidal
terrorist?

And how many survive crash anyway? And those who survive do
you think it is because of clothes?

Separate cockpit and passengers by wall with no door, no window, just
plane wall. No mechanism of communication whatsover with cockpit from
passenger area.

How will the copilot say "bu-bye"?

All passengers must fly NUDE.

The required amount of airsickness bags on each flight would then have to
increase exponentially.



Think of all the dark strips on the seat cushion fabric...

Far more than you think survive crashes. Half the
passengers on the DC 10 in Iowa walked away. Motorcycles
crash at high speed and properly dressed riders live to heal
and ride again. A friend crashed and burned, his hands were
protected with Nomex gloves and his body by a Nomex jump
suit, his injuries were mostly to his face. But he wasn't
beautiful anyway.

That is why the passengers would be supplied with form
generic zip lock body bags, they'd be thrown away after each
use. So the lavatories could be removed, any bodily waste
and fluids would be in the passenger identified bags. They
could be checked for DNA to identify terrorists, to find
smuggled drugs and as an extra service, to screen for all
known diseases and birth defects.
The zip lock bag would cover the head too, and have O2
connection, this will make the passengers breathing air even
more pure and if they get airsickness, the barf will be
completely contained, no smell, no clean-up required.

Privacy issues and modesty can be handled in two ways,
either those concerned about their privacy will just have to
wear a visual visor, like on Jordy (Star Trek NG) to show
them a virtual world or they can just be blind folded and
told they are alone.

The zip lock bags could be printed with pretty pictures in
strategic locations or just advertising...

Hooters, where our breasts are finger licking good.

Airport Annie's, all customers are first class. [That is a
sign on a massage parlor on the Wichita Airport, in a city
owned, rented building]

Viagra, don't bust a zipper.

Hefty, our passenger bags are the best. Used by more
airlines than the other brands.

Larry, The Cable Guy, now showing, don't laugh too hard or
you'll fill your bag.

Microsoft, the anti-Viagra.

Feel like an astronaut, crap in your pants.
