"Once on a plane, access to the cockpit is not as difficult as some passengers may think. Cockpit doors in U.S. jetliners are designed to be easily broken down in case a pilot is incapacitated or there is other emergency.

George Bush's first speech last night did not impress me. His demeanor was not comforting--he seemed worn, timid, a bit distraught.

I can feel his grief, but I also want him to stand tall, to fill the shoes he fought to wear.
