Bump! Let's have our pilots armed. Enough with the political correctness that's been killing us.
But pilots need to concentrate on flying. [/sarcasm] Besides, just because you trust a pilot with hundreds of lives when he's holding the stick, that doesn't mean he won't go crazy and shoot people.
Now for the next question, why not stun guns at the very least huh? Are stun guns 'too violent'? At least until people get off their paranoia juice?
