- Sky Marshals are usually limited or designated for International flights.

- Fear of a bomb being set off and an expectation that the plane they
were on meant that sitting still and hoping to get off the plane when it
lands (and hopefully you expect it to) kept most folks pliable.

It was until the folks on a given plane had feedback that there was an
effort to hijack planes in an organized way that they got together and
did _something_ to retaliate.

The loss of life is deplorable but the actions of a few seems to have
thwarted, at least partly, the terror of others.

I'll be trying to , not get back to normal, but get on with life as my
part in the effort to thwart the attacks' effects.
