This was an attack against our liberty. Against our freedom. Perpetrated by those who hate liberty and would love to enslave their countries under severe religious laws. They hate us most of all because they believe our freedom is what makes us "The Great Satan"

And you sir, are spewing the very same agenda they are. I suggest you turn yourself in to the FBI this moment for the terror monger that you are!

He probably did, along the lines of Sir, it didn't work. Personally, I think we should INCREASE crypto over this. Put a crypto imbedded radio in the planes control electronics, with the key known only to the FAA, and existing only for that flight. If there are flight problems, hit a switch from the tower and take over the plane from the ground. Either instruct the autopilot to land at a pre-determined contingency location, fly it by remote from a simulator, or blow it up before it can be used as a battering ram. The former two useful for on-flight emergencies too, such as an unconsious pilot. Something else to consider. Knockout gas in the passenger compartment and a solid door between passenger compartment and cockpit. Also, why are we putting so many clerks in a handful of offices anyway? Isn't this supposed to be the age of the paperless office? Shoot, this time next week, 3-inch pocket knives are going to be on the proscribed list for commercial flights, when the opposite should be true.
