TOTALLY GEEKED!

And then to exacerbate it by doing NOTHING while another passenger berates her cursing and using racist language against her in front of everyone. It's horrible and blatant.

I don't see racism. I see someone wanting to turn a Big Nothing into a Big Something.

 Wow.  Those are big blinders you have.

 

Not surprising - she's Muslim.

I never got a can of coke either. Did anyone else?

I routinely ask for a can of tomato juice and a cup of ice. They sometimes pop the top of the can for me, usually not.

 Well, it's a good thing only unopened cans of diet coke can be used as weapons!  You could have taken out the whole plane!

 Shake it up and then open it while pointed at other people's eyes?

 

That works for the different treatment of tomato juice, but not beer......hmmm. 

 

Diet coke has artificial sweeteners and therefore is chemically stronger and makes the can harder?

Yes, I did. But no one answered my question -

"Do you really think a full can of beer would hurt less than a full can of coke if you got bonked over the head with it?"

Sorry, I missed that.

So you bonk one person? Then get taken down by the other passengers?

 Don't know.  Not a Muslim woman.  Obviously, they have secret ninja skills related to cans of Diet Coke. 

 

 

 

I would think EMPTY cans would be more dangerous, if you could manage to cut or tear one apart and use the jagged edge.

I can't think of any tools that would be accessible to a passenger that would facilitate cutting or otherwise opening the can to get a jagged edge. 

If there WAS something like that in the passenger cabin, it would probably be a better weapon than the aluminum can.

 But...ed......the can HAS TO BE DANGEROUS.  Tell me how, pleeeeaaaaaassssseeeee. 

I've been given full, unopened cans of soda on flights. Usually United, too. Guess I'm not much of a threat. Or maybe only diet coke is threatening?

The flights I have been on, they open the can, pour it into a glass and hand you the glass. They can get 2 glasses of soda out of one can. It's a cost saving measure. It costs them too much money to just hand each passenger a can of soda. The only flights I have been on where they will give you the can without asking are flights to Europe.

I assumed the danger was the jagged metal edge as well...BUT I can now fly with tweezers and nail clippers.

 Crush the can. Then open it back up again and work it back and forth until it rips open. It only takes about a minute or less. 

---

 See?  Not the full can - the EMPTY can is dangerous.
