A bullet hole in the fuselage of a pressurized aircraft will NOT cause a structural failure....this is a fallacy....
The cockpit door is bulletproof so the flight crew is safe....
If the other passengers were armed then the “perp’would be dead very quickly....
I remember on Mythbusters when they were shooting holes in a pressurized fuselage. They got nuthin but noise.
Yes, I honestly abhor the current airline ‘security’ practices. I only fly when I don’t have an option of driving.
I think they ought to offer a second security model. The first of course is the current sheeple model. The second would be issuing (or letting people bring their own) pistols to everyone on the plane. Make sure everyone has Glaser or some very low penetration ammo and off you go. Anyone who gets up and starts trouble would be down in short order.
