Sir, I am rusty. Could you elaborate on PACE?
Every time I fly, I scope out the layout of the cabin. If for no other reason than to make myself more comfortable I spend a few minutes doing the following:
1. I identify the location of the galley. A face full of hot coffee, followed by getting struck by the coffee pot, then slashed by the broken remains of the coffee pot is probably more than most people could stand.
2. The serving carts are ideal for barricading aisles, and on smaller planes they can be used for securing the head.
3. I always wear a belt with a heavy buckle for use as a Sap or Morning Star.
4. If all else fails, I have a hand full of keys.
5. I envision how I would go about making my way forward quickly in a threat environment. More of a matter of climbing over seats to get around bad guys while the other passengers deal with the bad guys. I'm heading for that cockpit door and dealing with whatever is up there.
TR is correct, everyone is going to die some day, and I'd rather die fighting for my life than begging for it. Post 9/11, you've only got one real choice: Take back the plane or end up in a smoking hole somewhere. Fuck that, they're not taking me with them, I'm taking them with me.
