After 9/11, A LOT in the every day life changed. But this is something that could have been and should have been prevented. I can personally say I'd sue Southwest Airlines until the cows came home, but that's me. Anyone could clearly see it would have been an emergency. An emergency should take precedence over FAA regulations, and in the end, I can almost promise you that an FAA investigator would have cleared the airline of breaking the rules.
