Air marshal gets hit!

yes this really happened, here is the article www.cnn.com... and this is the reason of the post

Pomykala then struck one of the air marshals in the throat "with a bladed, karate-style thrust strike" and followed with a choke hold move, according to the complaint.

so do you think it is safe to fly?

Safe yeah. Because the plane didn't crash. And somebody was slightly wounded.

So yeah. Safe.

Yeah, I still think its safe to fly.

Just cause some air marshal(rent-a-cop) got punched we have to panic all of sudden?? Phffft.

Those bullying inconsiderate air marshalls.

The guy just wanted a bj

WHAT?????i thougth the scrutiny by TSA employees was more than secure,didnt know that there were marshalls in the airplanes.

Seems to me that the situation happened in the best way possible. Yes, the dude sucker punched the marshall, but the guy was restrained, handcuffed, and everything ended up fine.

Unless you have a team of people highly trained in close quarter combat, I just don't see it being very easy to hijack or even cause a serious threat to a plane anymore.
