Federal officials are denying a report that the Obama administration is seeking to end a program that allows trained airline pilots to carry guns.
...
Sterling Payne, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration, denied the report and said the program that oversees a reported 12,000 federal flight deck officers (FFDO) is actually expanding.
"It's inaccurate, this program continues to grow," Payne told FOXNews.com of the editorial. "TSA continues to recruit and put new FFDOs on planes, and we continue to train them and do recurring training."

Isn’t he on Leno or something? Big party was last night...the O’Bamas were a-wearing the green.
Let’s see. Some of the possibilities are:
1) It was a trial balloon that’s been shot down.
2) It’s internet hype.
3) Obama’s goofed (again).
4) More bad communication within the administration.
5) It’s time to shift the blame (again).
6) No one has any idea where it came from, just like the Dodd ammendment.
7) .....
My nearest Wal-Mart (in suburban Northern Virginia, no less) was sold out of most ammunition including .22LR.
Make of that what you will.
Noboma counts on the American people being stupid. Actually just the ones who voted for him are stupid. That leaves a lot who aren’t.
Priceless. I agree we need a caption for it.
Any Photoshop wizards around?
I'm afraid you have pegged it.
WASS.
Re: “You might hear it on Rush or any other conservative radio show but not on TV news shows..There are things we see and talk about here that are very important but never see the light of day on TV..So that leaves it up to use and other conservative political sites..”

I know.......pathetic, isn’t it?
Sunday night I was STUNNED to hear (maybe 60 Minutes or Dateline) about the successes in Iraq, post-surge. It was an amazing story about how much things have changed and how normal things are and women can dress as they wish and museums have reopened, et al. Yet not one word of thanks to the US and/or the GWB administration was mentioned, though I suspect the average Iraqi citizens ARE grateful.
Until MSM turns, and it might, against Obama — we will have to be satisfied with blips in conservative media. And we need to scream the info from the rooftops in an effort to inform others. I am making my friends and relatives nuts with this, but I don’t care; they need to know the truth.
Re: “Everyone who is eligible should buy a gun and learn how to use it. If a person already owns a gun, he should buy another one, and extra ammunition.”

Yep, I bought my first gun months ago — and need another —hey, need one for each hand, right?
As we continue to shine the light of truth.....the roaches will continue to scatter.
*I am making my friends and relatives nuts with this, but I dont care; they need to know the truth.*
Me too!I just wonder if most of them really think it is that important..I never hear a word about it or they say I don’t want to talk politics,so I shut up..I still send everything I have and ask them to pass it on..At least here I can get my frustrations out..and know people are reading what we find out..even the democrats..
At least that is true..They scatter but come back and lay more eggs...and thousands of them come out and feed..
Yes, it’s conga line Wednesday.
We are only screwed if we quit fighting...
"needs additional funding;"
That's how they will kill it....
"Gee, we couldn't find the money."
Transparently un-transparent, Barack. What a jerk.
Roger that...
Bingo.
It's interesting the Wash Times hasn't commented on the govt response. I hope there are follow up editorials and articles coming soon in the Times.
