Terrorism in the air

Here are three possible solutions:
1. Have to be naked to fly.
2. No Muslims allowed to fly.
3. On long international flghhts passengers are put into a sleep state via gas, pills or injections and revived just before landing. I've long thought this would be better than being awake on a plane for hours and hours.
And how come the TSA now says that passengers now have to stay in thier seats, hands showing for an hour before landing? What if the latest "wacko" had tried to blow up the plane on the 5th hour of flight? Would TSA require us to stay in our seats for the 5th hour?

"emotion masquerading (sp?) as an idea"

Julia Child, in her book, "My LIfe in France", says about some of her political ideas, that they were merely "emotion masquerading as ideas", not well thought out, not rational, and not articulate.
Good point, I think. Much of the objection to the health plan and to the US economic stimulus package expressed in the media and by friends is just that, emotion without thought.
