Airline Security Measure that Works

A fine day for Turko-Swedish anti-terror operations.

"Passengers on a Turkish Airlines jet have overpowered a man who tried to hijack their flight from Norway to Istanbul, security sources say...The pilot raised the alarm and police said that when they entered the plane a passenger was sitting on top of the suspect."

Assume they mean to kill you all and act accordingly.

Would-be-hijacker is lucky they didn't just stomp him through the cabin floor.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I would be hard-pressed to accept any body language or moans of submission from such a person, and out of fear for my safety and that of my family/friends I would probably continue a defensive assault until the threat was dead with a broken neck and stomped into a jelly donut incontrovertibly neutralized.

Good for the passengers, but they didn't go far enough.

Maybe they did it on purpose knowing he will be in a Turkish prison once they land.  =D

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

I would take "death by stomping" over a Turkish prison.
