The only things that needed to be done was the locked cockpit doors and no longer cooperating with would be hijackers. As I have said here before, I am in no way a…

TSA misses like 70-95% of fake weapons during testing, so there’s actually a high probability we ARE flying with those items on the same plane.

I do not like that he is being called a hero. There’s conflicting reports of either shielding family, or he died instantly before anyone knew what to do.

Adam Kinzinger is right there. Old School Republican. I don’t like his politics but at least he doesn’t appear to be a fucking psychopath.
