The TSA or whoever after 9/11 imposed a rule on flights in and out of DCA
that no passenger may leave their seat until 30 minutes after takeoff and 30
minutes before landing. My question is simple, what if 6 people all stand up
at once on say , a 737.


The crew would declare an emergency and have the plane on the ground before they
could make a dent in the door.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

And possibly with enough of a rollercoaster ride to seriously injure any
unbelted passenger.
