I wonder what the protocols are for when they can and cant exceed the speed of sound. No breaking the sound barrier over populated areas, I think is a general rule the military follows.

They can get scrambled and in Seattle airspace within 10 minutes. I remember sitting in my barracks room on JBLM watching a movie when suddenly a huge boom happened and my curtains were flying around. I seriously thought it was my surround sound (which I thought was weird), but I got a couple frantic phone calls asking if I heard it. Checked the news and apparently someone was in Obama's airspace and they scrambled the fighters--the entire Western side of Washington experienced the sonic booms. Amazing technology.

If the dude were brown, or had an accent, people would have absolutely freaked out in a much worse way and Congress would already be passing a bill to further prevent this from happening again.

Everybody has pretty much already forgotten about this incident, and there are reasons why we have.
The reality of the world we live in = everything is about race? I disagree. I think you are just more racists than others if that is a thought that crossed your mind. It didn't cross my mind until the other poster said something about it in here.

If he had hurt anyone else (or attempted to) then the reactions would have been very different.

Not everyone, just the two fools in here trying to make this about race when it has nothing to do with it.

Wow, you're really high strung.

My point is, if we are serious about aircraft safety, we should take steps to secure them, no matter if it's a crazy dude or anybody else. But action only tends to happen in certain scenarios. We absolutely need to be more objective.

But like I said, everybody's forgotten about this incident, and as usual, nothing will change.

Now you can go back to calling everybody racist.

Have you ever been to Iowa? I am not sure high strung is really possible around here.

Your summary here is fine, but in your original post you said that race was the reason people were treating it the way they were, which is completely different.

Regardless, given your revised summary, how would you recommend we increase security to stop an airplane mechanic from being able to access an airplane?

Scary stuff, considering the guy was crazy enough that he took his own life. Could've flown it right into a building, highway, housing development, etc.

Every mechanic is be able to "hijack" an aircraft at the ground when power is off and only the main entry doors are shut.
If you know how to power up and start the engine(s) plus necessary systems its no problem to go away with this.
This has nothing to do with GW!
