This is my personal site, containing web pages and links to sites of interest to me, and hopefully to you. And most days I'll be including a news item about a good book, interesting software, an engrossing web site, or something else that grabs me. Often I'll comment on an item in the media. Come along for the ride. I agree that this is a sensible precaution.
Most airline pilots are former military and are experienced with firearms.
In addition, federal law enforcement has already developed ammunition that will pierce flesh, but not the wall of an aircraft. While the pilots are locked in the cockpit, the innocents in the back are being murdered by terrorists trying to convince the pilot to let them in. Some have advocated giving flight attendants stun guns. In the beginning their main job was to flash a winning smile, look pretty, and serve drinks. The time has come to change the flight attendant and her job.
