#1 Wait until a hijacked airplane is flown into a crowded German gymnasium (high school). Then be prepared for outrage over why the plane was not shot down.

Dieter Wiefelspuetz should be made to watch several days worth of non-stop archived 9-11 atrocity coverage in the Alex DeLarge fashion.

#2 If you make it crystal-clear that you WILL shoot down hijacked aircraft, you probably won't have any hijackings by 'normal' criminals, only suicidal jihadi terrorists, and those are the ones you absolutely have to shoot down. The death of any innocents on board is truly tragic, but in war people get killed.

#3 I'm sorry. Any passengers on a plane that gets hijacked after 9/11 that don't fight back deserve what they get.

#5 The funny thing was I remember folks on the left trying to make a big deal out of the Penn 9/11 being shot down and most of the people I know saying (a) It wasn't (b) I should damn well hope the air force was seconds away from blowing it up anyway.

Kind of diffused their conspiracy claims for the most part.

#6 Adding on to #2: A shoot down of a jihadi-jacked airliner only ends the lives of the innocents by a bit; it is a safe bet they are just along for the ride into whatever target has been chosen.

Yup. I call it the Post 9-11 Revised Civilian Hijacking Protocol. A little something I proposed less than 48 hours after the 9-11 atrocity. What amazes me is how many troublemakers on these civilian flights have emerged without their spines crushed.
