Oh, I got that message loud and clear! I will NOT willingly fly on a commercial airline. The combo of terrorists, lousy maintenance, drunk pilots, aircraft wear/fatigue, and obtrusive security keep me away from air travel.
Now, tell us about the hijackers. Were they of an ethnicity that should have gotten them "profiled"? Where were their weapons (which ones?) carried, or were they cached aboard by corrupt airline workers? Glad that you and your family survived, BTW. You have a unique perspective on the matter.
Was your aircraft hijacked here or in some other country? What was the security procedure? Where do you feel that it failed? How were you rescued?
Thanks,
