Congress made a law. They're conspiring to breaking it. Throw the RICO act at them. That's a felony, and when they're arrested, give them the 'felon stop' treatment government just loves (guns pointed, pets shot, etc...) It's a terrible law, but since we're stuck with it maybe just for once it could do some good.
Use asset forfeiture on them (I loathe that one too). They're making money from breaking a law (they take paychecks and break Congress's directive to arm pilots). Seize their houses and cars without a trial. Take their cars too.
Sounds outragous doesn't it? It is. Happens to the 'little people' all the time. Point the exact same thing at government and all of a sudden its an outrage.
None of this will happen because the president doesn't want pilots armed.
Yes, I do blame President Bush for any TSA abuses.
As Clinton said when it comes to controlling the Executive branch organizations:
"Stroke of the pen, law of the land... kinda cool"
