my friend told me that smoke detectors only pickup black smoke and not white smoke. true or false?
I don't think that either one would have been that hard to take out if you take explosives out of the picture. The only reason the 9/11 terrorists were successful was that the previous hijacking procedures were to bid your time and placate the bad guys until you can be rescued. Knowing what we know now I do not feel that that scene will ever be repeated. As the plane in Pennsylvania was made aware of the situation the passengers were not going to go like sheep, they fought back and God bless them. The underwear bomber was attacked immediately and I think that is what any red blooded person is going to do anymore.
buy a 5-6 in. pocketknife (over 6in. u need a permiti think) and a can of MACE(pepper spray)
HmmYou do not mention your age so I do not know how young you are.But, if you think you can.Why not? If you want to travel as a backpacker, you must meet some female backpackers in a hostel so, you can try to make friend with them and get a friend to share while traveling but, if you really want to travel alone,these are some tips: Beware of accepting drinks or food offered by strangers. Spiking of drinks and food has become a worldwide problem whether the motive is sexual assault, robbery, or both ?Avoid wearing expensive clothes and jewellery ?Keep an eagle-eye on luggage while engaged in activities such as checking into hotels or renting a car as these are vulnerable times when the solo traveller is often targeted ?Always appear calm, confident and in control (even if you don't feel that way!) ?Carry a mobile phone with plenty of credit or the means to top-up ?Arrange to travel during daylight when possible and avoid driving at night. .It's too much to be written here so, if you are interested, just go to my blog and find many guides for you. Good Luck!!
