How Airline Passengers Can Fight Back
MINNEAPOLIS - The Christmas Day Northwest flight showed once again that passengers can stop a would-be terrorist. FOX 9 investigators show you how passengers can fight back. Bruce Schneier is a sought after expert in airport security, based in Minneapolis. He believes the government is ignoring the "x" factor. "One of the things we've learned since 9/11 is that a line of passengers fighting back is a line of defense we have and that's one of the things that worked Christmas Day," said Schneier.

Christmas day, in Detroit, it was a Dutch passenger, sitting an aisle away, who finally subdued a Nigerian trying to light his explosive underwear. The government and airlines have done little to educate that courageous citizenry to provide real lessons from United Flight 93 on 9/11, or the passenger beat down of shoe bomber Richard Reid. Part of the problem is that nowadays passengers are treated like cattle; we're complacent and compliant, which isn't to say that we shouldn't obey TSA or the flight crew. We should. It is to say, if there was a moment when passengers were needed to stand up and take action, would we know our moment, when it came. Basic maneuvers are simpler and easier than you think.Self-defense expert Rick Faye has trained pilots, flight attendants, and worked with federal air marshals. To avoid racial or religious profiling, Fay says it's important to focus on behavior.
