I can hold back a desk jet printer, a whirlpool jet nozzle, and a Joan Jett and the Black Hearts 8 track tape with my bare hands. \n\nWhich type of jet were you referring to?

"When they ACT like they are choking"??? I just thought that was funny...\nWell the reason that my 7th grade science teacher gave me was that putting the arms up help open up the airways and lets you take in air more easily...hope I helped... I'm 22 and i still put my arms up :) Patting on the back can actually help lodge whatever obstructing your breathing. If you feel like your choking and you can still cough that means that air can still get in and your best bet is to try and cough it up. Choking with no breathing should be dealt with the Heimlich maneuver

Well it depends on what type of plane you are being ejecting from.  Most modern fighters jets require you t owear a helmet and be strapped in good and tight to your seat so in case you get knocked out upon ejection you have a chance for survival.  The most important part though is making sure your parachute opens.

Here is the deal for you!\n\nHave you ever been sandwiched between two fat guys in an aircraft? Ever seen some one using the shoulder of the person next to him as a pillow?\n\nI have a solution for this and you can use it as your project.\n\nSimply install plastic shields  in between two passenger seats which can move up and down like the glasses of  your car windows just pressing a button . It wont take much space and is easy to install too. this will not only provide privacy but will also prevent breathing someone Else's breath or cleaning his saliva from your coat.\n\nYou quote this idea just draw a picture of two seats in an aircraft, and then draw the mechanism of the pulley by simply attaching a motor a belt and a pulley to the power source and button and you are done.\nAll the best

You asking if it can be done, or will someone do it?\nIt can be done. The autopilot on aircraft is just a computer program, and any computer program can be modelled. However, I doubt if you are going to find someone to do it as it would be really complex.

the person would be holding there throat. Preform abdominal thrusts. \n Stand behind the person withone foot between the persons legs.\n Place the thumb side of the fist against the middle of the persons abdomen, just above the navel.\n  Grab your fist with the other hand.\n  Give quick upwads thrusts.

Yes I can, unfortunately people with no arms or those paralysed from the neck down will have a more difficult time trying to do this.

None of the above.\nA. Passengers can carry sharp pencils and one of those in the neck will do the trick.\nB. Airport security is just for people - cargo is never inspected.\nC. Pilots are usually ex-military who won't surrender a plane for a box cutter.\nD. Americans are living more and more in a Police State because too many idiots give their freedoms away for security and get neither.\nHow about E - the government let it happen and stood Norad down, laced the buildings with explosives and shot a missile into the Pentagon.

Pokes to the throat(aim for the Adams apple area) and eyes are very effective. Your thumb will work best, but any fingers will work. I have also been known to use a "fish hook" in the mouth or arm pit. If you can grab an ear, twist it. Mom's do that for a reason! Twisting fingers can make the toughest person back off. If all else fails grab hair, and not just on the head. We teach our students to go for chest hair, arm pit hair, what ever will make the attacker react. Once they react, you have the upper hand, take it. I would use it to exit the vehicle if possible.  Not every situation can be trained for. Part of learning is to visualize your normal situations, and build your own defense moves, and plan of action. Try to practice with a partner so you can see how a person reacts to each attack, it will help you to figure out your next move.

yes but you can not take a lighter. You will want to take a book of matches with you. For when you get out of the airport.
