They do just fine... Don't confuse movies with real life. Many planes
have been 'shot full of holes' and none have crashed from
decompression...

Consider this, both Ried <sp?> and this latest lunatic failed
completely--one would think they'd get the message: "I don't want you
blowing up or killing innocent people..." -- God.

That raises another question: if plane bombing is really such big of an
issue. How many planes were blown? How it compares to hijacks,
accidents, etc?

Come on, Dave! 'Fess up, you've _never_ever_ listened to Fox Talk. I
listen via the Web using my Roku Soundbridge...

Try it for a week, then tell me what you heard that was biased (except
for John Gibson... he gets his jollies from "N-word" baiting, though I
can't really say his questions are biased... he's just drawing out and
demonstrating their ignorance... especially amusing when he asks _why_
they voted for Obama ;-)

Hell... Fox even carries sickening liberal nutcase Alan Colmes...
