Airliners

Collision Avoidance
30 April, 2002 - BrinoGilbert@go.com

For sometime now I have this invention that can prevent collisions associated with airplanes, automobiles and so on. If we had this device I call COUNTER COLLISION GADGET (CCG) in place the terrorist airplane attack on the World Trade Center wouldn't have been possible. The principle of CCG is such that it prevents the collision of two bodies that have the device installed in them. If we had CCG applied in the building process of WTC and we install it in every airplane usually it will be installed in the frontal, rear and side region of the airplanes, which of course are the collision possibility areas and we have CCG installed in the frontal of tall buildings such as WTC and others----the airplane would have diverted its course to another direction without the slightest collision with the building(s). This device can be applied to automobiles which when installed in them will prevent the collisions on our roads---auto-accidents. 

Furthermore it could be used to prevent the collisions of ships--hydro-accidents . The applications of CCG are multifaceted and it eventual manufacturing will be dawn of the greatest scientific/technological breakthrough in human history. CCG can be that effective to take care of the momentum of the coming airplane or automobile.  I have a miniature prototype that can least demonstrate the working functionality. But it needs development for eventual manufacturing. It has gulped so much from and as such I have hung it up for lack of funds. But If I find this forum useful and I guaranteed of my protection in terms of rights and benefits I could sign up an enviable legal agreement to disclose it with the mind to serve my generation. I think it is about time CCG comes into the security workhouse after fervid eight years of research and development and I have been touched by the unfortunate incidence of the WTC---and my wife and kids are all concerned. We could have CCG to prevent future occurrence of terrorist attack.

How does the CCG know that you're not intentionally aiming for the building to avoid the schoolyard full of kids? (Whether it be an airplane or an automobile.)

Airline Security
25 April 2002 Richard L. Wainright (NHGRI) wainwrir@mail.nih.gov

#1 - Start profiling IMMEDIATELY. It ain't 65 year old, red-haired Catholic nuns that are causing us problems - it's 20-50 year old males, usually un-accompanied. 

#2 - Place bodyguards, bouncers, or whatever you want to call them on every flight. I have to think that there are TONS of out of work, American-born, male college grads who used to play football, hockey, wrestling, etc. who would welcome the opportunity to fly around the country for free in exchange for providing security onboard a plane. NONE of the hijackers would have been able to commandeer those planes if a 6'5", 270 lb. linebacker trained in close-situation combat was blocking their access to the cockpit. Better yet, make it a law that at least one of the flight service crew meet these qualifications and put 'em up front as the last line of defense.

#3 - Once the plane is in flight, the cockpit door remains closed and locked for the entire flight - NO EXCEPTIONS

#4 - Re-design the access to the cockpit, make it on the outside of the plane, NOT thru the passenger area. In addition, armor the cockpit with steel and/or Kevlar plating.

#5 - Do not allow luggage of any sort to be placed onboard a passenger plane. Have separate planes that consolidate the luggage for several flights and have it delivered en-masse to the destination airport.

#6 - De-pressurize the cabin in the event of a fracas - gonna be pretty hard for a hijacker to move around if he has to wear an oxygen mask attached to the ceiling.

TV analysts and airline experts are saying that 100% checking airline luggage is not feasible now and equipment for this will be very expense in the future. Why not use separate cargo airplanes for the luggage. Perhaps the luggage space aboard the airlines can be used for other commercial deliveries instead of luggage. Also, I would think that space on cargo planes would be less expensive than passenger space.

I believe that we need:
1.  Bomb sniffing dogs at boarding gates
2.  Monitors that would allow security to pick up on highly nervous passengers.
3.  A system in the cockpit that allows the pilot in an
extremely dangerous situation to push a button that activates "Autoplane".  "Autoplane" takes control over the plane and lands the plane safely at the nearest airport.  Once the button is pushed the command to land the plane can't be over-ridden.

Background Checks on Passengers

They should do background checks on all passengers in all overseas flights.  Also random airport polygraph tests for passengers flying here from overseas.

Sleeping Gas
Contributed December 26, 2003 by DaveGualco@aol.com 
I too thought of this as an answer to terrorist commandeering a plane. Most all planes are equipped to land without pilot assistance. So I think it would be feasible to actuate a sleeping agent into the air of the entire aircraft, including the cockpit coinciding with a beckon notifying the military and air craft controllers. If they have a way to remotely divert the plane to a safe landing zone that can be manned with the proper authorities to handle the threat.

Besides the obvious benifits of saving the lifes of the passangers and crew as well as the any ground targets, I think I would rather sleep through such an event an be awaken to the knowledge of the arrest of the terrorist and the problem of missing my connector flight.

I think sleeping gas would be a good idea on all airplanes, this way if someone got out of hand or hijacking the plane the pilot would hit a switch and gas would be released. Everyone outside the cockpit would be sleeping until the plane lands. The person would get arrested and nobody would get hurt. The camera on the plane would get everything on tape.

Not everyone reacts to these type of gases the same. (Example: people with asthma, heart conditions, blood pressure problems etc.) It's too much of a liability for the airlines and government of contend with in this day and age of sue happy idiots 

In flight video recorders are a great idea though. Just like the data and cockpit voice recorders.

After thinking about it more the Sleeping Gas idea isn't so bad. You just don't need the gas, you just need to make everyone really believe it's there in place by way of government press releases and video clips. If people think it's there it will deter them. It's kind of like hanging a CAUTION ! ELECTRIC FENCE. sign on a normal chain link fence. Who's going to touch it to find out !!!!!!

It still would have been better to have half of the passengers on an
airplane dead, than all of them dying out of the actions of a fanatic bloke.

The excuse of different people reacting differently to these gasses is
neither here nor there. If it was being used I'm sure more people would have been alive out of the Sept 11 disater than what happened. The 2 towers would still be standing there.

I don't think the airlines would like in-flight video records because eventually an airliner will go down and if the cash is on video the public will in time see the video. I don't think that is going to sell a lot of tickets.
