Why can't we use sleeping gas on planes to deter terrorists?
16 years ago Some of you may have heard this as well yesterday(Wednesday) morning on the Howard Stern show.
The interview was with Donald Trump about an unrelated subject, but it deviated to the topic of 9/11.
On a phone interview...Mr. Trump suggested all cockpits be installed with a big red button that when pushed, fills the passenger cabin with sleeping gas to take control over a terrorist situation. Yes, it would put everyone to sleep..including all the passengers(the pilots would have gas masks of some sort). The plane would then land at the nearest airport and remove the threat of another impact.

well maybe that's the answer to all the customer dissatisfaction with airlines. As soon as we get our carry ons stashed in the overcrowded overhead and settle into our 17 inch wide seat with 21 inches of leg room they can put us all to sleep until the flight is over. We can wake refreshed and ready to happily disembark from the plane and continue on our way! Less work for the crew and a much more pleasant experience for us!
