terrorsts dry runs, cockpit doors, safety in our skies

Around what?

300 lb?

You, of all people, are trying to call someone else fat?

So, you've been around a lot of glory holes?
Not too surprising.

The ones in God's Country are staffed by young women. Is it different where you live?

Do the flight attendants have the ability to open the cockpit door, assuming it stays closed and locked the whole time? If so, couldn't the terrrrrrists just take one of them hostage and force them to open the door?

Not on all the US airlines that I am familiar with. When the flight deck is occupied, the door must be opened from the inside. What usually happens when the waitress wants to bring food or drink to the cockpit is the waitress will pick up the intercom and use a word that is code for I am not being forced to do this. In your example the code word would be omitted. This is similar to many other security measures in airports and other buildings. For example my brother who works at the Portland Int Airport and has access to every building and space there has a way to notify police without saying a word. If he was taken hostage and forced to use his badge to open secure doors, he would swipe his badge from bottom to top. The system will still read it and immediately notify police.

On a passenger flight, the pilot comes over the public address system as usual and to greet the passengers. He tells them at what altitude they’ll be flying, the expected arrival time, and a bit about the weather, and advises them to relax and have a good flight.. Then, forgetting to turn off the microphone, he says to his co-pilot, "What would relax me right now is a cup of coffee and a blowjob." All the passengers hear it. As a stewardess immediately begins to run toward the cockpit to tell the pilot of his slip-up, one of the passengers stops her and says "Don’t forget the coffee!"

At least that's what they're telling you through the wall..

You seem to be claiming significant knowledge regarding Midwest glory holes. You pitching or catching? A friend in Grand Rapids wants to know.

I've got a cup holder on my bike ....bfd.

I have four.

Sounds like you have a drinking problem. I only need one.

And I can see a whole lot more of the scenery as well.

Questionable at best.

I'll assume your naivete comes from never having ridden. Going through the mountains east of here there's a world of difference between what I can see while riding in a cage & what I can see riding on my bike. The only time a cage gets over on a bike is when the roads are icy.

And you see quite a bit more on a bicycle -- just takes longer to get there.

And my bicycle has two drink holders - they fit a 24oz beer can about perfectly. Usually gets me to the next store.
