lol those caps in your last sentence, trying to make your text read like a speech. People still discuss the conflicts of human vs nature, man vs man, with the only exception to man vs god. The most recent book I read about human vs nature was Annihilation, pretty good. Man vs man has moved to social sciences, but I am certain there are still literature about this type of conflict, especially with all the "racist" experiences minorities are writing about.

I agree with him. I doubt there's any real need to ban liquids over 3 oz. I doubt it matters. 9/11 was so bad because of many security failures having nothing to do with tiny amount of liquids. For one thing, THEY HANDED OVER THE AIRPLANES, ALL FOUR OF THEM. The should have fucking resisted, but the airlines had gotten used to just giving planes over to hijackers at the first sign of trouble.

This is why retaliation and self defense is so important, and record of retaliation could have acted as a deterrent; that is, it would have forced them to either use more detectable methods (guns) to hijack, or they would have had to resort to a less effective method overall (like stupid truck bombs or something).

And the liquids thing is just one example. You also have to get patted down, they take a scan that shows an image of your naked body, and they make you take off your shoes and belt so your pants are falling down. It's just an unnecessary breach of basic dignity, and for that reason I am against. Doesn't matter if it's "effective". They shouldn't impinge on everyone's dignity to curtail the actions of the tiny fraction of people that will do murderous things. There are much better ways, like actually figuring out who is a danger in the first place, then monitoring that person closely.

Man vs. Reality is man vs the laws of his environment. Yossarian can't plead insanity because he'll be sane and forced to fly more missions, he can't also refrain from speaking up because that would render him able to fly more missions and accepted as insane by his MD, he's caught in a logical loop where the goal in unachievable because of contradictory rules. That hasn't anything to do with a contest with God.

look, the planes is understandable because up until then all hijackings were usually demands for money and a flight to cuba. mostly it was just a big hassle for all involved. there wasn't a yardstick for "skyjacking where the hijackers have no intent to land again"

>> No.12057081

>>12056761
Yes, I had heard of that, and it makes sense at first. Why risk the plane full of people by retaliating?

But I think it is a miscalculation. Or at least I think it might have been. If you give robbers/hijackers/hostage what they want out of convenience, it is inevitable that sooner or later this policy will be taken advantage of.

I guess I am saying that I would prefer resistance for the sake of resistance, and then maybe there would be fewer hijackings?

I don't know, maybe that's crazy.

At any rate, I heard that in light of 9/11, the policy has changed, and now the pilots and crew will resist hijackers at any cost. So that is good, I suppose.
