I'm supposed to leave for my wedding in Italy in 2 weeks. Hoping all is back to, well, whatever we can consider "normal". Unless we declare war, I'm going!

I was to fly to Rome tonight. I am scrambling to re-arrange flights and to make new reservations in Italy. I agree with the sentiments posted here. I will not be terrorized by cowards!

Going if the plane goes..Paris. If a terrorist tries anything funny, I'd bonk him on the head with my 42.7 oz Mamiya 7II camera, David and Goliath style. <BR> <BR>How about these recommendations? cockpits have big steel inpenetrable doors, pilots were armed, planes have emergency buttons alerting controllers, and planes are equipped with sleeping gas that would knock everyone but the pilots out so the situation would be manageable. (just a little brainstorming here...)

You go! I wouldn't step on a plane for anything right now, especially in light of yesterday's capture of 2 more potential hijacking teams in NY. These terrorists are so brazen that they will stop at nothing. They actually tried to board the first flight out yesterday with fake I.D.'s, knives, etc. They have no fear and that's not the kind of enemy that's easy to contend with. <BR>Travel Girl, I love the idea of the sleeping gas!! I have a better idea. Just sedate everyone as they enter the plane! This would render everyone incapable of any wrongdoings and would certainly eliminate the problem of what to do to pass the time on a flight and or dealing with an annoying seatmate!
