God damn I miss those landings in Kai Tak.
When I was little, I remember being able to see people's TVs out of the airplane window looking into windows of ppl's apartments. And then right before it would land on the runway (if it was windy enough) they had to fly forward sideways then turn as it was about to land! awesome! I love oding that on flight simulator

[Bleep]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Lighthouse', 'I') remember a time where people smoked on planes, had loud parties with lots of alcohol and there were not much security checks at the airports. You could ask the flight crew to go into the cockpit and sit on the jump seat during the landing. (I remember a impressive landing of a 747 on the old Hong Kong airport me sitting in the cockpit on the jump seat, joking around with the captain)

Now the plane will turn around and people get arrested because they are playing with mobile phones or unfasten seat-belts before the sign is switched off.

Never mind:

Flight alert 'not terror related'

Apparently this was "nervous air marshal" related. From now on, only people of northern European extraction will be allowed to fidget with mobile phones and plastic bags.

Yer, but people have really got to wise up, there are lives at stake here. Whiny bitches who moan about being inconvienced can shut the fuck up or not fly, I'm sick of the victim speil. Shut it.

[Lighthouse]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Bleep', 'G')iven that jet aircraft have a huge demand for petroleum (kerosene) and given that TPTB know there is an ongoing crisis with oil production would it be so much of a leap to say that they are involved with trying to disengage the populace from flying so much by gradually making it less appealing?

Conspiracies or not, there are people out there trying to take down planes. Stopping that is paramount, if you feel hard done by fuck off and don't fly.

Its' the whining that annoys me.

Just flew back from SFO to JFK and the national guard were very present in both airports. A couple got on the airtran with me in San Francisco, wasn't the most comfortable feeling having them standing a few feet away from me with their trigger finger ready on super long automatic rifles. Afraid to chew gum the wrong way else be seen as a terrorist these days.

I'm bringing in my contact lense lubrication drops no matter what... specially on 15 hour trans-pacific flights, I need them.

The story is pretty vague. For example, I think it is against the rules to make cell phone calls on a plane, but maybe they were just playing cell phone games or some other activity. Maybe a group of friends or family kept all their cell phones in a single bag, and passed them out because they were bored. Maybe one of them got up because he had to use the bathroom really bad? Maybe they aren't explaining the details so that people don't see how absurd it is?

[EnergyUnlimited]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Lighthouse', '
')But turning around and arresting 12 innocent people because they look suspicious, were playing with a cellphone and opened their seat belt before the sign was switched of has nothing to do with stopping terrorists. I would call it paranoia.

You can say the terrorists are winning, but I see it differently. It's the govenrments that are winning. A fearful population is a controllable population, and that's what this terrorism has given the governments.

If Americans are so afraid to be blown up maybe they shouldn't fly

I agree, and I don't. I wish planes had never been invented personally.
