Ahem, -- the pilot would be shooting AWAY from the avionics at an attacker attempting to bust through a secured door. -- But don't let reality intrude upon your dreams that big brother at FAA can make the world safe. Defending the unconstitutional Bush decision to violate a pilots RKBA's is sheer political jingoism.
Rrrrrrrright. I can't imagine that you'd ever considered the possibility of a struggle between a hijacker and a pilot and the consequences what might happen...
The common sense point of arming the pilots is to AVOID struggles for the cockpit. -- They shoot the bad guys as they try to come through the door.
But you are right, I can't imagine the next 'what if' possibility you'll come up with. - And don't really want to. -- Thanks.

A bullet through a fuselage can bring down an aircraft. It's one of the reasons why tasers were considered by the FAA.

A bullet through a fuselage can bring down an aircraft. There are a number of recent threads at FR that debunk this silly belief. To avoid embarrasment, I suggest you investigate the matter further.

Rapid depressurization and stress fractures are a reality. I'm not going to argue with a bunch of armchair cowboys.

...if I were this kid's father, I would make sure he never had a chance to beat up another 12 year old...To that end, maybe the best thing to happen would be to give this creature a suspended sentence. Get him out on the street/open... ;)

Aside from my not being a 'bunch of cowboys', thanks for that rational decision.
- First you've made here.
