No, I do not remember that flight. But if we were to honestly be so thorough that every incident of possible maybes of could be terrorism be thwarted, we would have to be in the airports 3 months before take-off.
Besides, what these "throwers" did was unquestionably wrong.
Also, we have had in place security measures for a long time that have worked. But in ANY situation, if someone wants something bad enough, they will figure out a way to do it/get it. And no amount of countermeasures can prevent evil. And I for one am not willing to sacrifice any more personal freedom for govt called "safety". Shit happens, people die. All of these new regulations, laws and airport safety measures are new ways of encurring govt revenue and ways for politicians to say, "hey, I care about your safety", when all they really care about is getting elected. Do you think these fuckers in Congress have to put up with 5 hour delays for saftey reasons.
Sorry to jack this thread but I have to say this in response to your comment (which I think you were implying). There were just as many terrorist threats before 9/11, now as a country we are just more privy to hearing things relating to them, becuase it is on the populus' mind.
