Two cabin security incidents in 36 hours

Featured Replies

Frontier Airlines. Similar, yet separate.Could be nothing, could be a probe of our security stance. From the Aviation Nation Blog: http://www.theaviationnation.com/2007/08/2...ts-in-36-hours/On Thursday: "Passengers reportedly had to hold down Chang, whose hands and feet were taped together to control him. Frontier Flight 561 landed in Indianapolis about 8 p.m. Thursday after the fight, the report said. Chang reportedly was upset that there was another passenger in the seat next to him and punched that passenger in the face, requiring treatment when the plane landed."And Saturday: "I heard the flight attendant say, 'Help me!'" Vigil said. A struggle broke out, and Vigil and two other male passengers rushed over to help the attendant restrain the passenger."http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/arti...LOCAL/708250463http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,294632,00.htmlhttp://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/08/26...r_in_air-1.htmlbt

That's the way I would do it. If someone tried to storm the flight deck I would and anyone else willing would subdue them to the best of our ability. *&^% . em.JimCYWG

There are SO many things like this that don't get widely reported. And why not?Take for example: I heard yesterday about two Egyptians arrested in South Carolina, that had a trunk full of explosives, and bomb making manuals. That should have been front-page news, but wasn't...for some reason.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian
