I just don't like the idea of letting someone who tried to set off a bomb being allowed to board a plane. - Krusty May 4, 12:44 23
- "Hi, I'm on the plane and it's about to take off. Meet me at the arrivals area." -- nm - Count Zoorku May 4, 12:47
- if you've got marshalls on the plane, and you already know he's incompetant, what's going to happen? -- nm - Reagen May 4, 12:45 18
  - and if they intentionally let him on the plane I'm sure they had marshalls watching him every second. - Darth Mel May 4, 12:48 12
    - probably every seat around him. they wouldn't let an innocent bystander be close enough to become a hostage. -- nm - Count Zoorku May 4, 12:50 11
      - "Geez...these Americans are big..." -- nm - Stupid Terrier May 4, 12:54
      - You might be overestimating their manpower and competency. -- nm - Bery the Hutt May 4, 12:54 9
        
        I'm pretty sure they can scrounge up 4 guys for something like this. - Reagen May 4, 12:58 8
        
        I dunno, I always thought of Air Marshals as being a scarcer commodity than that. -- nm - Bery the Hutt May 4, 12:59 7
        
        It's a dude that tried to set off a bomb. They'll call guys in. - Reagen May 4, 13:01 6
        
        You assume they had enough time. He didn't buy this ticket days in advance. - Ender May 4, 13:05 2
        
        That's true, but there's no evidence they weren't. - Reagen May 4, 13:09 1
        
        I'm firmly in the "we don't know nearly enough to make a judgement either way" camp. -- nm - Ender May 4, 13:13
        
        I just don't see how it's any better/safer than apprehending him. -- nm - Bery the Hutt May 4, 13:01 2
        
        Better, because he might give more info accidentally. - Reagen May 4, 13:03 1
        
        Interesting thoughts. I see what you're saying. - Bery the Hutt May 4, 13:04
  - I just don't get why you would even take a chance. If we was going to call someone he would have done it before getting on the plane. - Krusty May 4, 12:48 3
    - not necessarily, he might have thought he was home free once he was on the plane... -- nm - znufrii May 4, 12:49 2
      - He probably thought that as soon as he made it through security. -- nm - Krusty May 4, 12:50 1
        
        to some extent but there would have been a big exhalation once he was seated. -- nm - Count Zoorku May 4, 12:51
  - this could make for a great In Plane Sight episode -- nm - Bery the Hutt May 4, 12:46
- what would've been *hilarious* is if they brought the wrong plane back to the gate and allowed his to take off... -- nm - znufrii May 4, 12:45 2
  - "But what Mr. Bomberman didn't realize when he boarded the plane, is that this was a direct flight. One way. Final Destination ... The Twilight Zone." -- nm - Rod Serling si May 4, 12:47
  - Well, then he's in Dubai and you get to do all kinds of nasty stuff to him. -- nm - Ender May 4, 12:46
