BuffaloBill Posted April 22, 2014 Share 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 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Good thing it wasn't someone with a bomb. How about that for a bad flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. At any age you should have. The average person would suffocate above 27k feet; how this kid didn't suffocate and freeze, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Nice security there. The kid just walked up to the plane. 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 Share 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.)

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 Share Posted April 23, 2014 TSA is a lock on your door, just ask any locksmith how secure most of those are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Maybe we should have TSA hold hands around the airport perimeter fence? 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.
