[The_Judge]

A couple days after the event and not a word about this on this board? I know it's the holidays and all but I figured someone would mention a terror attack on the world's largest airline.

Anyway, here is a brief knee-jerk reaction by the government. If the portion about not being able to do anything 1 hour prior to landing is true, this is scary for the other types of regulations that may come about. For those that want re-regulation, if these are the types of people that are making these decisions and they keep it up, I say, re-regulation will kill the airline industry.

Here is just a snip of part of the story. Complete article can be read at the link provided.

Air Canada said in a statement that new rules imposed by the Transportation Security Administration limit on-board activities by passengers and crew in U.S. airspace. The airline said that during the final hour of flight passengers must remain seated. They won't be allowed access to carryon baggage or to have any items on their laps.

Can you imagine if the flight is delayed in landing after the announcement, or someone has to use the restroom, or needs medication or etc, etc.....If this is true, I foresee MASSIVE problems on board airliners in the U.S.
