I was in the Army.

But yes, it is easier said than done... and I am trained to handle those situations. Civilians are scared and often don't know what to do. But, if you rush them and keep your throat and wrists away from the blade, the worst you can get is a deep gash that can be stiched up. besides... he MAY get one of you... but he can't get all 80 of the passengers.

the bomb is the biggest issue.

this is why i always sit on the outside of the row near the middle of the plane, fuck a window seat.

i also will not hesitate to get in a passenger's business. i don't let a stranger in my car, and i damn sure aint lettin him on my plane.

i laugh with these, ask those where the bathroom is, "hey, i'm get a sandwich, you been to this airport before?" "know where they got a decent bite to eat." "did the stewardess let you know I my girl is allergic to peanuts. If you have them, please don't open them in the pressurized cabin. The dust can make her go into shock." "Don't you look just like my cousin Rhonda's friend from Georgia Tech?" "You check the game?" I ain't gotta hit everyone with a question, but from a decade of customer relations, I can fit in any social environment.

the peanut allergy is a bonus if i fly with my girl. we are allowed BY LAW to ask everyone PERSONALLY to not open any tree nuts in a pressurized environment around my girl, or to let us know if they intend to, so we can catch another flight. so, I can get in everyone's face, and I DO.

"Hello, I was assured by the flight attendant that no tree nuts will be served on this flight, but her doctor still wants me to ask everyone on the plane to not open any packaged tree nuts in the pressurized cabin. The dust can make her go into shock, and possibly endanger her life. And I wanna make sure this flight is safe for her *kiss my girl on the cheek*?

(this tends to relax women in an "awww" kind of way, dudes scan my girl (which Ayhja can verify), and some people snub us, but fuck 'em.)

I swear the way I fly, dude would be too afraid to get on the plane.

I don't fly scared. I fly socially, and like I own the damn plane. It's a side-effect of SAT team leadership in hostage rescue training, and standing military posts where you challenge EVERYONE. Besides, We all cyce breath on that plane, and I wanna know WHO's air I'm breathing, ya feel me?

I don't let people get a case of the redass when I am on a flight either. I just show the crew my ID's and then go tell the passenger to shut what I like to call "THE FUCK UP!" After that, nobody says shit the rest of the flight! /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
