Fly and Fight
There's been another passenger combat incident in the Friendly Skies.
A man attempted to break into the cockpit of an airliner flying from South Africa to Atlanta on Thursday, the FBI said.
Not a terrorist they said, just your garden-variety crazy guy. I'm not sure if this is happening more or is just getting reported more, but it sure seems like these types of incidents are increasing.
What's surprising is that more of those who do these things aren't getting killed. Few things in the world more dangerous than a group of people who think they've nothing to lose....fight or die.
[Note to self: Take refresher course in hand-to-hand combat prior to next flight.]

Sit down & shut up or get out is what I say. I'd be willing to help them with either choice.
