6. How much more can the airlines handle re: these scenarios?

I just can't see them continuing in the $$$ when every other month they must cancel flights.

:shrug:

Are they looking to blow them up in mid-air because as someone mentioned previously they would be very low on fuel by the time they arrived, so the explosion impact would be highly lessened.

I think we need to duct tape homeland security's mouth shut IMO
