My idea to stop terrorist hijackers on planes

[noahmijo]

Okay I'm a little tanked (drunk) at the moment as I write this but I thought of this earlier tonight. My girl and I just got back from Applebee's so go figure.

Anyways here's my idea.

The airline should require that whenever someone who appears like they could be a terrorist come onboard, they should be forced or at least offered 10+ free little bottles of booze.

You see the problem is the current way uses racial profiliing and also causes innocents to be searched and questioned for hours right? forget that just require them to get drunk during the flight. If the guy is a terrorist chances our he'll be too busy laughing too hard with the other passengers to bother to set off the bomb he carried onboard.

Also, it's kind of a positive form of racial profiling when you think about it; instead of it being bad to look like a certain member of an ethnic group it's good cause you get free booze. Who would complain to the aclu for that kind of charge??

I don't really think we'd be hearing "Your honor I feel violated cause they kept offering me free booze the whole way during my flight to Buffalo"

1. And for Al Qiada...

...Bill Maher said that we should send Ann Coulter and her girlfriends over there and get them boys LAID! It's not allowed until marriage for men...

2. That's unfair to those of us that want free booze

but don't look like terrorists.
I would support 10 free little bottles for everyone though, and I think it might make flying a lot more fun if everyone was drunk.

3. a few problems...

muslims aren't allowed to drink


but if the system is put in place, i will do my best to be a suspect and get free booze

9. Catch 22

They're refusal to accept will put them under further scrutiny.

4. I won't drink

mostly because of religious reasons. (You can drink all you want though; I'm not a fundie :D)

Also, there are people out there who get violent when they are drunk. This might not be such a good idea after all.

5. How about "put a door on the cockpit".

Though I'm not going to vote for him, Nader had this anti-terror plan as far back as 1987 from what I hear.

6. We need Hare Krishnas

We never had any such problems when every airport in the nation was flooded with Hare Krishnas selling flowers.

People who felt particularly aggressive never made it past the Hare Krishnas.
Planes were safe when we had Hare Krishnas.
Bring them back.
Give us back our Hare Krishnas.

7. Islamic fundamentalists don't drink

or they're not supposed to, anyway. I doubt they'd be inclined to do it just before meeting Allah or whatever they do in paradise.

8. Have you read about Mohammed Atta's playboy lifestyle in Florida?

Booze, drugs, women. People who knew Atta and his al Qaeda pals thought they were Mafia.

A complicated dude.
