She's spent at least half her life being persecuted by the bad guys. How astonishingly threatened by her they are! And what does that say about THEM?

Not that it matters to me. I'm just as saddened by plane crash victims as gun shooting victims.

After 9-11 we didn't ban planes, or box cutters, or raise the age to fly....

We tightened Airport security, kept box cutters OFF planes
We hardened cockpit doors so the freaks couldn't get to the flight crew.
We armed pilots, we have no clue how many or on which flights.
We put armed Air Marshals on flights, we have no clue how many or on which flights.

Absolutely after human error crashes we implemented things like proximity warnings, stick shakers, redundant flight controls systems, don't put O2 generators in a cargo hold....

My Pert Plus was taken away on my last flight to Eugene Or. It's Pert PLUS fer shits sake...
