The U.S. Constitution, and the common sense of the American people demanded that pilots be armed. Congress passed a law directing that pilots be armed.

But our president - who has opposed this all along - has violated his Oath of Office by not faithfully executing the law of the land.

The TSA is a joke, just another bloated federal bureaucracy responsible only to itself. What was G.W. thinking when he allowed this monstrosity to be created?

Sometimes I think G.W. would make a great public school administrator.

Ironic thing is those of us on the longhaul international Bizav types having been CCWing for quite a few years now especially trips to Nigeria and other places of "interest" ;-0) etc

Thanks for the ping.

This is stupid at so many levels- if a pilot can't be trusted with a gun then he shouldn't be trusted with an aircraft, period.

I'm not sure what US law says, but the Criminal Code of Canada definition of "Peace Officer" includes "The pilot in command of an aircraft in flight". That means pilots are the only cops who are not allowed to arm themselves. Let's face it, the only thing airport security does is render us all defenceless.

Not only that, but those with CCW permits and police officers should also be able to carry on planes also.
