pilots really don't have anything to do in air...

how about drive? this really shouldn't be a problem. i think they have enough to worry about. so how come airport security takes your bags, soda and shampoo (for our safety) and when a plane is unresponsive for over an hour and is headed in the d.c. direction nobody cares? so new numbers came out today. the runway was overshot by 150 miles. don't they tell us laptops can cause problems with plane navigation? is it that it's to boring up there? i think have the lives of 300+ people on a plane in your hands would be enough to keep you alert?
