Terror In The Skies, Again?
Here's a very interesting article about a families recent experience flying from Detroit to Los Angeles. They must be getting a lot of hits on this web site as their server timed out on me a couple of times. Be patient, it is worth the wait.

Right now, it is the feature article on the home page. In case they move it, its called "Terror In The Skies, Again?"

I'm confused, it's talking about this article, but never links the original article.

That would worry me to the extreme as well.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

That's a great article. What it does show is that people are much more aware of what's going on inside the aircraft these days. It also shows that if these Syrians were indeed terrorists on a dry run, then they were bl@@dy stupid ones. Even a trainee would be taught that the best way to become invisible is to act normal.
There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
your hand or head stuck in something

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience

Or may be that was a realtime training exercise and the syrians were just actors... they wanted to see whether the public noticed and what the cabin staff did.

Scary stuff - I hope she and her family don't have nightmares about it.

I wonder if it was indeed real and there were indeed Federal marshalls on the plane. If so, wouldn't the marshalls have done something?

Article says they would have waited until something happened. This does not comfort me. Knowing what we do about bombs and the like they should take the time to investigate the odd things on planes.
