minus-squareTamo240@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoThe goal is not to stop the people in the queue being attacked, its to stop someone boarding a plane with the means to hijack it
minus-squarenednobbins@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoThey fail gloriously at at that too. Whenever they get tested the red teams manage to smuggle in everything needed to hijiack a plane plus a kitchen sink. The few times that terrorists tried to board planes, they made it through security and were caught by other passengers.
minus-squareFinal Remix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoThat’s what’s changed. Before, a hijacking meant a free trip to south America or Cuba. Now it means you’re likely to die if you don’t stop the hijackers. A planeful of pissed off passengers determined to live are gonna stop a would-be hijacker.

minus-squareLiz@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoYeah, and you don’t need the TSA for that. Just do as they already do: lock the cockpit.
minus-squarew2tpmf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoLittle known fact: many of the pilots behind those locked doors are armed as well. The Flight Deck Officer program allows pilots to volunteer to become deputized Air Marshals. They receive training and are issued a badge and a gun.
minus-squareinterdimensionalmeme@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoGood guy with a gun, we’re not mentally ill at all !
minus-squarew2tpmf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoSo police officers are mentally ill? Interesting take.
minus-squareinterdimensionalmeme@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·6 months agoYes, they think they’re the good guys.
