Right, 'cause clearly the central issue in this report is "roll down" vs "open". That's the real story. The rest is just a smoke screen. Which could easily be cleared up if we could open windows on airplanes. And space shuttles. I mean, it's possible as long as they only do it at certain altitudes, right?

The very fact that anyone is trying to support Mitt on this is laughable.

Yawper, yes cabin air pressure is not required at all altitudes, yet required at the altitudes planes normally fly…. Oh yes let us have windows that will open! Terrorists will rejoyce! And while we are at it, I think our guys on submarines need screen doors to catch a fresh breath of air! How the F*ck can anyone defend this moron on his ideas for better aviation or his plans forhealthcare reform… oh wait he won't tell us…. immigration… oh wait he won't tell us. Tax reform…. oh wait, he won't tell us. Bet they are just as good as opening windows on airplanes!

I'm with Reginald on this. It's stupid to focus on offhand BS like this when there are so many real, substantive, terrifying reasons Romney shouldn't be President. Being considered a gaffe-prone moron never stopped Bush Jr. from being elected.
But, I am beginning to wonder why you feel you need to defend someone who thinks having widows that "OPEN" on airplanes would be a good idea.

Yawper...just answer this simple question (or do what the rest of Mitt's followers on here do, post and run away like cowards) Do you agree with Mitt that window's should "open" on airplanes?

For those who fail to read an entire thread before posting to it I stated previously I'm not advocating anything about aircraft windows, but it's NOT impossible to make them functional below pressurization levels for commercial aircraft and most GAA have windows that open.
I've posted it before in previous threads and I'll post it again - I'm not a Republican. I'm a left-leaning Independent and I (like many others) hate the way both sides are behaving. The distortion through a bull**** headline and pile-on snark about Romney's actual comment is a prime example of why so many are fed up with it all.
How do the GAA windows operate. I was curious about that, but couldn't find the info.
At any rate, the "official" word now is that Mitt was only joking. Just like Madonna! They were both just like totally being ironic, y'all. It's everyone except Mitt and Madonna who are stupid.

FWIW on many commercial aircraft the cargo holds aren't pressurized at altitude even though the passenger cabin is.
How do the GAA windows operate.
They are usually sliders or pop-outs
btw, many commercial aircraft have cockpit windows that can be opened and could be opened during non-pressurized flight if FAA regulations permitted it

Terrorists really have little trouble doing whatever they want to do. The good ones are just like hackers - always one step ahead of security.
They've even been known to use pressure triggers that set off bombs when an aircraft cabin reaches a certain pressure level, so damned if you do, damned if you don't.
If you're that concerned I guess all exit doors, including emergency doors, should be protected from passenger access, too.

It takes more then turning a knob and pushing the window up while sitting in your seat to open an escape door. There have been people recently who have attempted it and were stopped.
Romney is a dumb ass and you are going out of your way to give creedence to and justify his dumb ass statement. Shouldn't your energies be put to better use?
