ExiledInIllinois Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Check out what this kid went thorugh: http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_25610408/san-jose-santa-clara-teens-survival-from-flight Wow...
BuffaloBill Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 That is one kid lucky to be alive. At my age I probably would have frozen into a hunk of ice, been crushed by the landing gear and my sorry ass would have been dropped into the Pacfic somewhere.
dib Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Good thing it wasn't someone with a bomb. How about that for a bad flight?
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 he watched too much TV. he's lucky to be alive
BuffaloBud Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Wonder if he will be charged full fare for the flight?

The average person would suffocate above 27k feet; how this kid didn't suffocate and freeze, I have no idea.

Good thing we have all those 3-ounce bottle restrictions and full body scans. Maybe we should have TSA hold hands around the airport perimeter fence?
stevestojan Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) No wonder terrorists haven't been successful getting bombs into the wheel wells. They never thought to wait for the "cover of dark." How this headline isn't "More proof the TSA is a ridiculous false sense of security" is beyond me (other than the fact that that's too many words for a headline.) Edited April 22, 2014 by stevestojan

Exactly the TSA is a complete waste of taxpayer money. If some idiot wants to take out a plane this incident just showed how easy it would be.

bowery4 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 TSA is a lock on your door, just ask any locksmith how secure most of those are.

I was thinking a moat full of starving great white sharks. Then again, if people are willing to try this, they probably would take their chances with the shark moat. Less dangerous.

Security Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Well, he must have really hated his parents. Wonder how far this gets checked into.
