Airline Passenger to Al Qaeda: 'Bring it On'
by Scott Ott

(2003-07-29) -- In response to the Homeland Security Department's warning about an increased risk of al-Qaeda airline hijackings, an unnamed frequent flyer said, "Bring it on."

The business traveler who flies weekly, said, "If any of those al-Qaeda punks try to take over one of my flights, I guarantee you that me and a bunch of other laptop jockeys will treat them like the baggage handlers treat our luggage. When we're done with those terrorists, they'll no longer be able to place their tray tables in the full, upright, and locked position."

The frequent flyer went on to quote Harrison Ford's character from the movie Air Force One: "Atrocity and terror are not political weapons, and those who would use them, your day is over. We will never negotiate. We will no longer tolerate and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid."
