Yeah, I heard the airlines are going to reduce the size of the crews to just the flight attendants. That way they can avoid banruptcy by not having to pay so many big salaries to the pilots. The planes can essentially take off and fly and land themselves. Like you see the drones do in Afghanistan and the M.E. And to prevent hijackings they'll put an electric force field in the cockpit that only one of the flight attendants has the combination to arm or disarm the system, but none of them knows which one of them has the right combination. That way the terrorists won't know who to keep alive and who to kill and that will give the flight attendants a chance to overpower the terorists. But if the terrorists get into the cockpit the motion sensing death rays will zap them and then procede like nothing happened, to the regular destination and land and the CSI clean-up team comes in and gets the plane ready for the next trip.
Even when I'm just kidding around I can't help but be prophetic! lol

JUST KIDDING!!

Sorta.

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?

Do I smell a government contract?

There was this guy that lived near my friend's house back home that had a huge, somehow legal arsenal in his house. He'd done a lot of work on the walls and stuff. They were filled with notches for sticking guns out to shoot at some sort of advancing threat that he imagined. The police raided the place at one point and were shocked at how much **** this guy had to defend himself. He had some ****ed up paranoid delusion.

The scariest thing was a motion tracking camera on the second floor balcony that followed you if you happened to walk past the house. These were in the days that we didn't have cars, so we experienced that chilling effect more than once. I doubt it was actually a gun (probably just meant to look like one), but there was some sort of barrel on the underside of the camera housing. Scared the **** out of me and everyone living around there.

I always thought the idea of motion sensing, infrared, and a servo controlled machine gun was a natural evolution. Throw that combination on a remote control vehicle, and presto: Easy to kill terrorists without getting hurt.

Here's a mini one to hold you over until you can get the big guns.
