1. I want to know how they would dial-in a specific passenger.
Maybe just jolt the hell out of everyone on board and let Baby Jesus figure it out.

2. I read about this system yesterday on the manufacturer's site
There is a control grid showing the seat numbers etc, and there is a BACKUP PLAN, the flight attendants can use a laser pointer to activate any bracelet. Of course, waving a laser pointer will probably zap half the passengers!!! And now it would be the FLIGHT ATTENDANTS responsibility! One safety feature, the system doesn't activate until the pilot declares a hijack in progress. So, if the pilot is overwhelmed, then the hijackers would have COMPLETE control over the passengers!!!

It is so far beyond idiotic that it's funny!!!

3. Man, you couldn't make up something like this if you tried.
I can just picture some peeing-in-his/her pants Flight Attendant whacking an 87-year-old who is wearing a pacemaker.

Something about this reminds me of - when I was traveling all the time after The Day That Changed Everything - when all of those post-adolescent Ntl Guardsmen were running around the airports with M16s.

Crazy ex-Girlfriend was terrified that some shooting would break out and she would get hit by a ricochet.

I told her not to worry about it, no way those kids would be issued live rounds.

They jerked my ass out of the line, took me to some office and told me to never say anything like that in an airport, ever again.

As it eventually turned out, I was right.

It is all a big effing joke.

4. Ask them if you are under arrest. When they say "No", then ask them
Edited on Thu Jul-10-08 04:52 PM by RC
why they want to attach a tracking device on you as if you were a criminal. Why can't you just put it in your pocket? With hundreds of millions of people flying every year, just how many flying "Terrorists" have they caught in the United States since 9/11/2001? Zero? One? My guess is one, the shoe bomber.

6. And they would...
be sadly mistaken.
I just won't fly.
Next it will be for the general population.

7. I would give up flying before I would subject myself to this crap.
Bush has done so much damage to this country. Fear, fear, fear! Terra, terra, terra!

It's all an excuse to put us under the control of the TRUE terrorists -- the Pretzeldent of the US and his unholy cabal.

Fuck that shit!!!!!!!
