The summer of 9/11 I brought on a full suit of hoplite armor with shield and spear on board a regional plane. The stewardess told me I can't have it in the passenger compartment so I should just give it to the pilot before takeoff.
I'm not saying that we should let people board in full armor again, but surely there is a happy medium?

- oceanplexian 2y agoI have vivid memories from childhood hugging my grandma before flying right at the gate. Unfortunately people have a short memory. Kids these days will have no memory of how free of a country we lived in even 25 years ago.

- saagarjha 2y agoThey'd be less crowded if you didn't have to show up 3 hours early
- scarface_74 2y agoSo now are we saying that there should be no security? Do you not remember when there was literally an average of one hijacking per day?
