Airline incidents are once again making Islamic jihadists orgasm..

Okay not literally if you’re over the age of 5 and understand what a metaphor is.

Just a few hours ago, I saw another article about an overreaction from passengers, crew and law enforcement involving disruptive passengers on board airliners.

‘Hero’ passenger helps tackle ‘would-be hijacker’

okay to be honest, that’s not the biggest overeaction I’ve seen regarding air travel.

Chinese Passengers Beat Hijackers - June 2012

With all the reinforced cockpit doors and extra security, there’s no real threat present attacking these ‘buff’ mach guys don’t realize that they’re feeding into the narrative that Al-Qaeda tried to establish in the early noughties and is succeeding in. Just restrain the guy politely with handcuffs, sedate him and put him to sleep then leave me to enjoy my flight. No need to deploy stupid ‘SWAT’ teams.

Al-Qaeda and their Islamic affiliates can be compared to the process of sex. They got horny during the Middle Eastern conflicts in the 80s along with the promise of a charismatic leader like OBL, got the build-up in the 90s up until late 2001 and orgasmed on 9:03AM when the attacks on the twin tower were confirmed as terrorism. The attack which was truly the most successful attack on the common sense and intelligence of Western populations. Now they’re probably experiencing subsiding orgasms whenever stories like this pop up of airport security going overboard with such stupid measures like banning laptops or macho men trying to tackle and/or kill hijackers who pose no actual threat nearly two decades after.

I understand it’s a weird analogy but the point is if you guys wanna stop terrorism, stop overeacting on airplanes. Sure it’s a bit scary when a guy stands up and tries to hijack the plane but honestly, I’ve been in a similar situation and didn’t get nervous. Is stupid, it’s silly. The chances of dying in an airplane crash are incredibly tiny especially so after 9/11 (and NO…not because passengers won’t comply but the measure have made it difficult to smuggle weapons on board)

DON’T FEED INTO OSAMA’S NARRATIVE. You’re an idiot if you do. That’s why people crash planes into buildings 16 years ago. Not to commit mass murder but more so to provoke an underlying paranoia, fear and anger of terrorism.

Daily [del]Fail[/del] Mail? Seriously?

Osama has been dead for six years. BTW: 9/11 wasn’t his idea; he wasn’t even aware of it until the subordinate who planned the whole thing told him.

That Malaysian Airlines “hijacker” claimed to have a bomb. It doesn’t matter if he can’t get to the cockpit in that case does it? It is in the passenger’s best interests to take him down, and it is then in the airline’s best interests to get back to the ground.

4

Erm, the fellow claimed to have a bomb, and witnesses saw him carrying something ‘metallic’. Why do you say it’s an overreaction?

So, who do you think was going to politely ‘restrain’ him?

Well, aren’t you just the poster-child for commonsense and level-headedness. And OH SO BRAVE. I wish I was just like you…:dubious:

For the record, the ‘hijacker’ was a guy suffering severe mental health issues who had only recently been discharged from a facility. But passengers are not to know that at the time, and I appreciate their fear was totally understandable.

You realize that the US Capitol Building (or The White House–I don’t know if anyone is exactly sure which) is only still standing today because some passengers on an airline “overreacted”, right?

So, what, just let them try to get through the door until they tire themselves out?

I don’t know why this needs to be explained, but, given enough time to work on it, any door could be opened. The only way to ensure that a door is “impenetrable” is to not let anyone near the door.

Oh, right.

“Everyone stay in your seats. I got this. Um…excuse me, Sir. I see you’re trying in vain to get through that door and kill us all. Would you mind terribly if I put you in handcuffs please? Yes, I know you have a bomb, but femmejean insists that this be done quietly and politely, so if you could please cooperate, we’d all really, really appreciate it.”

I will say that, for the insanity of everything you said, it’s a good thing that you’re under this impression–it means that the people in question weren’t able to prove what threat they pose.

A lot of people seem to forget exactly why containers of liquids were banned from carry on bags.

:rolleyes:

Before 9/11, it was “What harm could someone do with a small blade?”

Before December of 2001, it was “What damage could someone possibly do with their shoe?”

Before the summer of 2006, it was “What’s dangerous about a full bottle of Gatorade?”

Before December of 2009, it was “What could someone possibly conceal in their underwear?”

You say 9/11 related restrictions made it harder to sneak things on-board an airplane; I say (and have the evidence to prove) that it made people more creative.

You say there’s nothing they can do now that everything you perceive as dangerous is banned; I say that I don’t want to see “June of 2017” (or any date after) on that above list.

Paranoia is bad. But tackling someone who claims to have a bomb & instituting security checks for items & methods that have been used (even unsuccessfully) in prior plots isn’t paranoia.

The security policy is 100% reactive. Nobody is sitting there saying “OH MY GOD WHAT IF THE TERRORISTS TRY NEXT?!” Instead they’re saying “Let’s do what we can to make sure nobody tries [y] again.”

Hell with that, HOW do you “politely” restrain an aggressively agitated person who is assaulting the crew?

No, you grab/tackle the person, forcibly restrain and physically immobilize until someone better trained can take over. No overreaction.

7

Fuck that polite restraint shit. Take him down with extreme prejudice and make sure he can’t get up again.

8

Guess my economic perspective may be warping my sympathies, but ain’t nobody trying to hijack a Greyhound.

9

Point of order: passengers have more difficulty getting things aboard. Very little, if anything, has been done to prevent ground crew from sneaking things through security.

I assume most people who would do this are men.

I’ve been asking a question and so far not really received a straightforward response; If a male reporter or relative of a female on all female flight with professional athletes tried to hijack the aircraft, would the women stop him?

Not talking about physical capability but the actual response?

11

I hope so. We are unlikely to find out though because the scenario is unlikely to happen.

In general, women are not as strong as men. If there is a situation that requires the use of strength it is most likely that men will involve themselves rather than women. This is not because men are aggressive and overreact, it is because they are the best tool for the job.

12

But you misunderstood my point,

I’m was wondering whether the fight or flight situation a flight filled with all female passengers would be taken control of easily without resistance by a single male hijacker without a real weapon.

Would the women gang up on him like these men or just sit there like statues?

13

Why wouldn’t they? Women defend themselves quite as well as men do.

14

No, I understood your point just fine. It is unanswerable because it is extremely unlikely to happen.

Would you prefer it if I gave an answer? Ok, the answer is “yes”, they would overpower the hijacker.

15

Not that I believe they don’t or wouldn’t, I just personally have never seen that in a film.

I’m interested in that kind of stuff…there’s something situationally ‘arousing’ about a an all female passenger and crew flight restraining a young petit man who is at there whim as to whether they want him to be beaten or punished for trying to hijack the airplane.

I remember reading about ronda rousey beating up a man, I wonder if you had female professional athletes on a similar level as her on an aircraft and they encountered a scrawny hijacker would they attack him.

16

What the actual fuck?

17

Checks forum.

Fuck that shit you skeevy little pervert

18

What if Hooters was launching some new restaurants in a new city and was flying in a plane full of their finest waitresses for the grand opening?

19

Come on mate…just because some users here take offense to my eccentric threads calling me names like a sexually sadistic fuck or a fucked up cunt, it doesn’t mean any of this is true.

I don’t really understand why people find it hard to believe that I take pleasure in imagining alternative scenarios. I’m thinking of contributing to small project films and hopefully graduate to TV shows in the future. Not for the popularity but just seeing films with unusual scenarios on television.

So all these blathering posts are just you imagining alternate movie plots? Don’t you have actual people to talk to?
