Title: Airline Security Measure that Works
Post by: roo_ster on January 06, 2011, 01:35:00 PM: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12124802

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.

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

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