I'm not a coward, I'm just bright enough to think of all the possibilities. If one of the crew IS a terrorist, I don't think it would be a good move to arm them. By the way, I own several weapons and am a member of the NRA. I'm more afraid of people like you missing your mark with your weapon in the air than I am afraid of terrorists.

Yep, you're bright alright. You should run for congress.

Well, it is possible you may not be brave enough to trust your fellow man. This may make you a coward, because it is demonstrable that trustworthy souls exist. If there is an untrustworthy SOB with a gun or boxcutter on the plane, you will be SOL because you are UNARMED, DEFENSELESS - a guaranteed victim.

If one of the crew is a terrorist, he's already armed with a hundred-ton MISSLE! If there's a shootout and the plane goes down, that's FAR from the worst that could happen.
