Someone found a note after the flight was 90 minutes out. Looks to be a hoax.

Some people on this site aren't into 'conspiracy theories', rather 'coincidences', but I think that this kind of a hoax may possibly have something to do with future planning on behalf of AQ or another group.

I agree this is very possible.

AQ hasn't acted without very thorough planning. Just as infantry units probe each other looking for weak spots, so do terrorists. They will set off an alarm and then sit back taking notes on the response. They also do this in various venues in order to evaluate our response.

Don't be lulled by all of the false alarms -- they may have been intentional.

Wouldn't it be possible to put a big mean dog right outside the cockpit? A security guard patrolling a immigrant (muslims mainly) and criminality heavy neighbourhood here told me that muslims are scared shitless of them, even small ones.

They scare, they alert and they hurt. And they do it well. The increase in response time and their trouble getting past might also rile passengers.

Just a thought.

This is a SF forum Martin. A dog would present a multitude of security and liability issues.

Think outside the box. Just place a well fed, domesticated PIG in the area forward of first class.
  1. NO muslim hijacker can afford to die with swine parts scattered within his remains which = NO VIRGINS in paradise
  2. Animal meat serves as an excellent MRE for any survival scenario you might find yourself in after emergency
  3. Animals skin can be made into clothing, moccasins, etc.
  4. Indig. plane population ( passengers) won't be as frightened by having to walk past a pig verses a snarling poodle
  5. its cheaper to train a pig to be a pig than it is to properly train a dog to be a security K9.

Just a few of the positives to using this tactic. LOL

Sorry for hijack.. back to thread.

Actually, the thought crossed my mind. I just think a dog would be a bit more robust in an air plane, and easier to train. With that said, those pigs can chop a limb off.

What you could do is have a cheap password pad right before the cockpit connected to two showers situated up left and up left right after the door. If incorrect code is tapped in x number of times or contact is lost with it (=destroyed), the showers could start pumping out pig blood.
Of course that the presence of the system would have to be announced.

Ok, hijack complete. Back again.
