Commercial airline pilots are already flying a weapon far more dangerous than the mother of all liberal fears: the assault rifle. So what’s the problem?

You know, I’m wondering…all this absurd expense and hassle and intrusion we’ve allowed since 9-11 - wouldn’tit have been much much less expensive to simply have armed guard on all flights? Even 2 maybe? Armed with whatever could incapacitate a terrorist without depressurizing the cabin maybe.

I mean I’m all for pilots having guns, but I don’t know if 100% would want to or be competent in its use. We always seem to do the most expensive least effective thing as a country…..the cancer of the bureaucratic state.

The problem is that those pilots are not “trained” government agents, as this government wants only its people armed. A pilot is just another of the sheeple and therefore to be disarmed.

Yes,arm all pilots,if not a pistol/side-arm, or even a fully loaded pop-tart.
