i do disagree with you on what you just posted. I would PREFER to have erred on the side of safety and have everyone taken off the plane when comments like that are made...by anyone. If I am irresponsible enough to say something like that, i wouldn't be surprised to be hauled off and told I could take the next flight when I cleared security checks.

Earlier someone said why didn't they let the 9 people back on board...this explains it..from Red Pope's post "If the pilot is uncomfortable with someone flying on their plane, that's their decision," White said.

I would rather have a pilot relaxed and not worried about what's going on in the back of the plane so that he can actually FLY the craft safely. Why worry about being bombed if you crash the plane due to being distracted?

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
