it should be and unbelievable story that should never happen but hell i'm suprised it hasn't already happened. theres a lot of shit going on in this government that we don't know about and congress has no interest to launch and investigation into, but hell they probably don't even know about that stuff. either way we're goin to hell in a hand basket and it'll all be thanks to people that we've elected.

Say a plane has about 500 passengers. One of them pulls out a weapon and goes nuts, causing panic. During all that chaos, the flight attendant or air marshal is gonna know exactly which of those 500 bracelets to activate???? Nobody's gonna know whom is whom and trying to match up "that looney with the knife" to their seat number and bracelet number in the middle of a frenzy and hit the right button isn't gonna cut it. The whole idea sounds plausable at first, but it won't work in a real situation.

Maybe if an unauthorized departure from your assigned seat could trigger the device? Make sure your kids are locked in good and pray you don't have a diarrhea attack. Nah, that won't work either.

Or would everyone in the entire section of the plane get zapped to make sure they get the right one??? Nah, can't happen either, children and people with medical conditions would be injured or killed.



But, as for the idea for tracking luggage with GPS, that would be awesome! There's practically no security involved with keeping track of luggage. Don't believe me? Go hang out at where the luggage comes out onto the conveyor belt. You can pick up anything you want and walk away without anyone stopping you to check it. Checking out luggage should become a new security measure.... ensure people get their rightful luggage before they leave!

They don't need Taser Bracelets. Big Mike, the Kid from Brooklyn, got it right in his video "Bat Day". All the airlines have to do is hand a baseball bat to eash passenger as they board the plane. Anybody that pulls a box cutter gets hit over the head with a Louisville Slugger. End of terrorism threats on planes.
