the future of air travel?
Don't know what to think about this one. Funny and terrifying at the same time.

Untill they reverse engineer the thing and use that to hijack planes. And then the company gets all the shit for it and goes bankrupt.
Did you know that if you freeze a bananna at low temperatures you can use it as an lethal weapon? Someone should hijack a plane using a frozen bananna just to show how ridiculous things are. Just ****ing give the plane personel some combat training instead.

Sensationalist video ahoy.
Major fail point of the video- "although the c ockpit doors are armoured, terrorists could blow them up with plastic explosive"....  if they managed to get plastic explosive on board, they could just...gosh... blow the plane up anyway?!

I feel an overwhelming need to rant, but in truth I don't know where to begin. The precedent that would be set by these things would be startling to say the least. What happens if the person in charge of the bracelets decides to zap every passenger for reasons of his own? What happens if terrorists manage to obtain a bracelet for study, crack the coded signal required to activate it, then zap everyone on the plane? They could quite easily kill people wearing bracelets by repeatedly shocking them. What if one gets activated by mistake? Even worse, what if the one mistakenly activated is being worn by someone with a pace-maker or a weak heart?
And what happens when the government decides that since the bracelets have been such a roaring success in air travel, people should be forced to wear them 24/7?
DO NOT WANT.

Considering how old that video looks, and how this is the first time I've ever heard of these stupid bracelets i have a feeling that they never made it further then that reporters imagination.

Ah, I didn't look at the age of the video. Although I did notice him saying biometrics was a new technology.

Oxygen masks to nitrous masks? So many people would just use them and get high on the plane :) No2 is also referred to as Hippy Crack :P

Or the Air Marshal could have, gasp, a Tazer, mace, kickage into the groinage, and so forth.

Just give everybody on the flight a gun and the terrorists will most likely be in the minority.

why not just go the whole hog and insist people are knocked unconscious for the whole flight? Talk about overkill and more ways for big brother to watch you. What's the betting that it would also be used for several other reasons since it can track people.

Air marshals are already using ceramic bullets because the chance of one piercing the aircraft's body is extremely low, even at close range. Also, anyone who watches Mythbusters should know that the only way to get a serious decompression is using plastic explosives, which should go on the hardened cockpit door.

Despite the fact I religiously watch Mythbusters every day, PLEASE, lets no use their questionable findings for anything in real life.
It's a god damn pop show. I wouldn't trust them to protect us from anything.
