I’ve lost my bag with my ID in it by forgetting it in a bus stop in Spokane in 2005, but it is good that I’ve already read a lot of articles like the above and several blogs about flying with no ID. The key to flying without ID is the fact that you will not get your boarding pass without the confirmation number and correct answers to one or two questions about your itinerary if you don’t have ID (I only know Southwest airlines’s no-ID boarding pass rules; other airlines may vary), and that you will be screened and searched like hell at the checkpoint. Your Boarding pass will also have ‘No ID’ or a different sticker than the ID passes (depends on the airport) on it, written either by the airline person that gave you the boarding pass, or by the TSA ID pre-checker in the checkpoint line. You will also get color coded (Orange in Spokane) cubby bins instead of normal gray ones if you either have no ID or they somehow deem you an elevated risk even with ID. Spokane airport (GEG) did not allow a queue bypass for no-ID passengers. They just check the boarding pass two or three times (they do in phoenix also) as you pass through the stages in the checkpoint. I think the best thing is to do it like brazil – passengers are allowed to carry small caliber pistols (9mm or less i think, maybe <9mm) onto the planes! Pilots should carry large caliber pistols in open holsters (they are current required to go through half-ass sky martial training and to go through special concealment and inspection procedures). No band of 4-5 guys with kitchen knives and pocket knives is going to hijack an aircraft with two high-caliber armed pilots and 20-30 passengers (and probably flight crew also) also packing some iron. The terrorists (or even classic ransom hijackers) will quickly die (probably along with a quarter to a third of the passengers) without achieving their objectives.

Once you are done with being able to scan for nukes after the ship pulls into port, now prevent nukes from detonating while the ship is pulling into port! I had a bad dream with 12 white mushroom clouds in major American ports several months ago. These DIY freelancers might have the technology to spot nukes (possibly only poorly concealed ones) 10-20 miles out at sea. I think while false alarms are low, they are very decoy-able, and maybe could still get false alarms from legal lab equipment or something. The gamma-ray detector pillars should be mandatory to pass through, and be able to keep speeds up. Traffic jams are bad. Also it appears in the article that intellectual property concerns are greatly affecting contract decisions. Thank you Apple! Thank you RIAA! You all suck! We need efficient, smart security that minimizes the impact on civil liberties or the flow of business and doesn’t cost too much. Poor track history so far, though TSA at airports doesn’t seem too bad though, but I am clueless of costs. Everywhere else, forget it.

They divert flights over old hags having an anxiety attack with some contraband hand-cream. She probably got put in the nuthouse. Out within a month with an incompetancy label (like a felony with a very short prison term) and some free disability checks. Most nuthouses is too full of people who don’t responed to the quick-fix drugs or who have gotten more crazy from the side effects of the quick-fix antipsychotic drugs (sorta like brain-fry from weed and booze, but more of a different kind of psycho than just fried). Probably mixing some of the nut-drugs with street drugs (especially ectasy, shrms, and acid/LSD) probably turn the whole brain into meaningless mush.

I don’t think he ever intended to or actually did take control of the aircraft. He botched up an attempt to get attention via exploiting anti-terrorist paranoia / procedures. Ge deserted from the turkish army and wanted to defect to and get ayslum from albania. They probably can’t even get hijacking charges on him. He will probably get more time in Turkey for the desertion. Real prospective terrorists should take example from the first half-hour of ‘Chronicles of Riddick’ (Drop, slide, climb, bop from under, quick move, fighter pilot not paying attention, panics, and ejects) and start practicing it with the X-Plane-Freeware Project’s uber-realistic 737 addon in X-Plane. It is probably why the USA uses 2 F-16 escorts and not just 1 escort like Greece did with the Turkish defector.
