Air Force One: Get Off My Plane!

Published: Nov. 20, 2023, 8 a.m.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are fighting off evil terrorists while on board one of the most famous airplanes in the world. We watched the 1997 film from Wolfgang Petersen, Air Force One.

I know that nothing can ever be 100% secure and safe. That\\u2019s just not the world we live in. I\\u2019d like it to be, but there are certain trade-offs we all need to make if we want to be active participants in life.

That being said\\u2026 You\\u2019d think that the vetting process for who\\u2019s allowed to work for the President of the United States and who\\u2019s allowed on their plane would be completely airtight.

In other words, how in the world could the president\\u2019s plane\\u2014ideally, the most secure vehicle in the world\\u2014be hijacked by ruthless terrorists?

Watching this film, it occurred to me that the security process for getting onto a commercial airline flight during the last couple of decades has been more stringent than what was shown in this film.

But, as always, the terrorists didn\\u2019t count on the unstoppable force that would spell their certain doom: Harrison Freaking Ford.
