I dunno what airline declared this, but now they're banning CROCHET HOOKS
on flights.
Air Canada, IIRC, banned freakin' POPPIES after Sept. 11, until there was
enough of an outcry to revoke that stupid fiat.
What a world we live in!

In Canada, one traditional observance of Remembrance Day (Veterans'
Day for our US brethren), is the wearing of a pin in the shape of a
poppy, as a commemoration of the John McCrae poem 'In Flanders
Fields.' It consists of the red flower (symbolizing blood shed), a
green center (freedom) and a bent pin (symbolizing the wounded IIRC).
Anyway, they were banning the poppies because GASP they had a pin -
which could somehow be used as a weapon to take over a plane, etc,
etc, yada yada.
Go to www.icomm.ca/~emily for some more info on the poppy.

In Canada the custom is to buy poppies from veterans in remembrance of
those lost in war. The poppies are plastic jobbies with, apparently
lethal, pins to attach them to your clothing.
On the plus side they sold out this year, the first time since the
20's.

All this crap about banning pointy objects since 9/11 makes me want to puke.
Anybody with a little martial arts training could defend against a box
cutter. Besides, it wasn't the box cutters that kept passengers on the other
three planes from attacking, it was the threat of a bomb on board combined
with the incredulity that anyone would ram a plane full of people into a
building full of people just to make a point. The bastards in the first
plane told everyone to sit down and not try anything stupid. Everyone
obliged so as not to bring the plane down. If someone tried any shit like
that nowadays, even an Uzi wouldn't protect them from being torn limb from

Any one with a little knife or butchering experience could chop someone the
fuck up too. I got gashed right across the forehead with a boxcutter in 96,
still have the scar today, that thing opened right up with hardly any
pressure from the guy who slashed me. Matter of fact I didn't even feel
anything until the hot blood started gushing down my face and into my eyes.

Wrong, it was the lack of information combined with suprise at the
unprecidented actions the hijackers took.

Doesn't matter. In such a confined space with so many people the first
one or two people would get shot (multiple times) but it's not likely
going to be something that will litterall *drop* them instantly (barring
an unlikely CNS hit), then they'd be on top of him and the dieing guy
could *still* corral the gun long enough for the others to beat the
gunman to death. Yes, it's true that few people would volunteer to be
the one getting shot but as has been proved already, sometime people
will make that sacrifice, particularly if they think that by thier
sacrifice, thousands may be saved. Besides, most gunshot victims
*live*.

Thats pretty hopeful thinking and I share the anti-terrorism sentiment, but
no one is gonna rush through a hail of 9mm I don't care how many there are,
the confined area favors the gunman. Besides with an uzi we are talking 50+
rounds per clip and I'm assuming select fire capability, be realistic.

Untrue, the layout of a plane for example forces the rushers to be funneled
through small areas that can be used as killzones.

So he is not going to need to reload anytime soon. Have you ever been shot?
I haven't, but I did shoot someone once and they weren't capable of rushing
anything after that, and it wasn't even a fatal wound. If I doubletapped
your chest and one to your head you wouldn't be rushing forward very far.
The differences in our opinion probably lies with the relative proximity
that each of us are envisioning in our minds. I am speaking from the
perspective of someone closing 20 or more feet which would be similar to
what would have had to be done on flight 93 after the passengers had been
herded towards the back of the plane.

While the poppy became a popular symbol of WWI vets, based on McCrae's poem,
the tradition of wearing the poppy is actually attributed to an American
women Moina Michael, and was picked up by a French woman Madame Guerin after
a visit to USA. It was in turn picked up by Canadians several years later.
The tradition did not become popular and catch on in the States, but has
remained strong in Canada since 1921.
I heard this on the radio the other day, and found this link later on with
the details. http://www.canoe.ca/RemembranceDay/poppy.html. Funny how things
work out, eh.
God bless all of our veterans. We should all be grateful for their sacrifice
and the freedom we enjoy as a result.

It already happened. And the threat was a bomb, not a guy, which (were

They believed the skyjackers had a *bomb* not just a gun. Death for
all, not just *maybe* being shot and *maybe* dying.

My only point is that an uzi is going to have way more stopping power than a
shank, I'm not trying to say that people wouldn't die bravely.

Well I'm not so sure they actually believed there was a bomb, remember by
the time they decided to resist some of the passengers had been informed
what had happened in NY by their relatives and thats not even the point I'm
trying to make. All I'm saying is no one is going to rush through a hail of
9mm like it was nothing, not even a group of people, especially when they
are forced to funnel thru the isles. Well, at least not from 20 feet and
further.

Partly.
It was also the fact that they were unarmed, facing men with long razor
blades, and no one wants to be a dead hero.

Most people would *much* rather be a *live* hero, but being a dead hero
sure beats just being dead. At least then you (theoretically) saved
some lives, right?

No, people aren't going to be able to rush through automatic weapons
fire.
Fortunately, as soon as one BG stands up to say this is a Hijacking,
he'll probably be jumped and boot fucked before he finishes the
"...ing" part. Won't have to rush from 20 ft, gramma next to him will
start the rush :)

I've never heard anyone call the others cowards. Those who do, need to
reflect a little more on the circumstances, and possibly consider what they
would have done in the same situation. As you and others have clearly
stated, the others were following the rules of engagement that were believed
to be valid at the time. Things changed drastically in a very short period

Yes.
Reminds me of the Wesley Snipes movie - I forget the name, Passenger 57?
- where Snipes admonishes the stewardess for playing hero. In a bank/jewelry
robbery, where money is almost definitely the only objective (and that
protected by insurance), 'playing it safe' is smart.
I think it was a failure of American 'thought' on the subject to equate
the two, when life insurance doesn't replace the loss in quite the same
way as theft insurance, and lives are the only thing of value on a
plane.

I in no way intended to imply such; my point was that, as you say, they

Wolverine can heal from nasty cuts... but there is a big difference between
getting a nasty cut and being vaporised.
His adamantium skeleton will make in interesting story for supes to tell to his
vistors to the Fortress of Solitude.
Interesting.... but brief.
I can only forsee one potential problem for the Superfriends... and it ain't
Prof X psychic attacks... Supermans and the Flashs reaction time is
proportionate to their speed... so Big John sez... "Lets get it on!" And before
Xavier can even think to send out a mind bolt... he is slagged, his mind may
still exist in the ethereal sense.... as he has been known to split his
consciousness from his body , but the psychic link would be severed.... and I
havent checked the rule book.... but I think Body Death is the equivilant of a

Nah.... the only prob that The superfriends got is if Jean Grey goes all
Phoenix on their arses.
And even if she did.... yeah, she's got more raw power than supes and Co. ....
