Subject: Re: Are Movies Depicting Crises Shown On Airplanes? Posted on: Mon, 21 Aug 2006 15:48:19 +0000 (UTC)

Another joke...not.

Okay, indeed some thriller-crises movies are as reported here being
shown on commercial passenger planes:

That's interesting, because:

Say, if a film-luving passenger would discuss the very same
schlocky-cheesey Bruce Willis-Tom Cruse type of adventure-violence
semi-fantastic/terrific film with seatmates, then...perhaps a Mmurphy's
law happens...

Hypothetically:

Somebody over-hearing something out-of-context in the movie comment
conversation might become concerned and ...report or grab or panic
or....

I wonder if such an unintended sort of paranoia-dynamic has happened
(?).

Because one prudently knows it is just common sense not to joke nor to
say anything regarding the terrorism-saboutage phenomena for the
rational fear of being misinterpreted at the airport or in the plane.
