"Exactly two things have made airplane travel safer since 9/11: reinforcing the cockpit door, and convincing passengers they need to fight back. Everything else has been a waste of money.

And when you say something like that, the government is more than willing to take whatever they want… and you’re still not safe.] - Valeria Maltoni
