[Travis McGee]

At Scoefield Barracks on December 7, 1941 there were quartermasters who did not wish to issue live ammunition to the troops after the attack started.

Today, three weeks after 9-11, military trained airline pilots are still not entrusted with pistols as a last line of defense to prevent another WTC level event.

The more things change....

Thanks for the heads-up, Travis. I am enraged that Bush has refused to arm the Pilots - the simplest measure to instill confidence in our Airlines.

Since they could do it themselves, they deserve to go bankrupt!...FRegards
