I believe some disposable batteries have elemental lithium foil in them (opposed to rechargeable lithium- ion batteries).
How do you take the batteries apart without crushing the foil, shorting them, and causing a fire?

Yeah... it'd be slightly less than ideal.
Have you considered fashioning some stylish yet concealed body-armour under your outer clothing, possibly using bits of left-over belt and magazines? Not quite Ned Kelly, but might help a little.

I would hope the passengers on a plane would be so brave, but there is a real collective action problem there for the passengers. Best case scenario, there are enough brave people on board willing to selflessly risk death to -- hopefully -- save lives. Would I? Would you? You don't know what you're made of until the moment comes, and I hope neither you nor I are ever tested in this way. Remember, individually it's "r…
Considering it has happened several times since 9/11 and people HAVE taken action, I think you are wrong at this point. http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/29/world/asia/china-plane-hijack-... http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/default.aspx?pageid=438&n=m... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-149289/Italian-plane... etc etc etc

At least they didn't make you drink your own breast milk. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2002-08-08-breast...
The woman already had the milk bottled. What's the harm in drinking some of it to prove that it isn't any dangerous compound? I thought liquids from outside weren't allowed in the planes, ideally they shouldn't have allowed her in with it at all, though, but that's a different point.
> did she fail to see the connection to stopping terrorism The connection is that she could have been a terrorist, and a compound dissolved in the milk could be used to make a binary explosive.

It also happened on 9/11 - the plane that went down in Shanksville PA didn't make it to its target because the passengers heard about the other three planes and didn't care to run into a building at high speed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_93

I love how he takes great pains to emphasize that it's "reloadable" and "break action" but when he fires it it just explodes.
it's actually sitting right here beside my desk. completely functional. ;)
People know what an AK47 is and they know it will kill what it is used on.
Power lies not in the weapon, it lies in what people think of the weapon.
Another thing, since 911 passengers most likely assume they will be killed whether if they cooperate or not. Certain death in a plane crash or possible death trying to take a terrorists weapon.

I cross my fingers hoping the BLUNDERBUSSness shotgun will be available in L4D3 or Dead Rising 3.
