1. Be alert and aware at all times.

2. Have a plan.

3. Have at least one alternate plan for when the first one falls apart. Remember PACE.

4. Do not fly in, through, or out of Detroit or the area if travelling with Middle Eastern Muslims makes you nervous. Most of them are fine citizens, but it only takes one to kill you. Too much stress is bad, too. Find an alternate route or means of travel.

5. We are all going to die. Odds are high that any plane hijacked by Muslims in the U.S. today is going to result in the deaths of all on board, regardless of what the hijackers say. Might as well grab whatever weapons are at hand, like that in-flight magazine, roll it up, and get busy defending the cockpit and kicking ass till the end. Die on your feet, not on your knees.

6. PC and COO will be the death of this country. 19 hijackers, all Middle-Eastern Muslims (majority Saudi) hijack four planes and kill 3,000 people, mostly Americans. Why are we detail searching elderly black women, Medal of Honor recipients, and AD service members boarding aircraft while ignoring people meeting the description of the only suspects ever to do this?

The pilot can refuse boarding of any passenger he does not like, and refuse to take off at his discretion. The worst that can happen is he could be fired. Why would he embark these passengers and depart, or not claim an in-flight issue to land short of the final destination? Sounds like our TSA Director is afraid of criticism and has transmitted that to the air crew and LEOs.

Just a few random thoughts.
