the system worked

This is so lame. I'll bet anyone a beer that this guy is some sort of bedwetting hippie. We already know he was on the phone when this happened, so we know he's one of those people: the ones that can't shut their effing phone off until they close the plane door, and then are the first to turn it back on in order to pass along the earth-shattering revelation that, "WE'VE LANDED. YEAH. NO, I'M STILL ON THE PLANE. I'LL MEET YOU AT THE BAGGAGE CLAIM."

Look, you hippie dickweed, just because somebody doesn't say the word "bomb" doesn't mean they don't actually have one. Did Mohammed Atta say the word "boxcutter" at any point? Doubtful. The guy shouldn't have got shot because he was wearing a fanny pack? Pull your head out of your ass. The guy was running up and down the plane, acting like some sort of lunatic. It's tragic that we find out later that he was just off his meds, but the air marshals did exactly as they should have done, and exactly what they were trained to do. The system worked.
