"But that doesn't soothe the concerns of Dawn Deeks, an official with the 50, 000-member Association of Flight Attendants.

"It's a very risky proposition," Deeks said. "I realize passengers are going to act out, especially knowing what they know now. But we should concentrate on training the flight crews first." She added that flight attendants have received no terrorism training."

OK, let's listen to the advice from the soccer mom. This Stewardess has had no training and she's telling people that it's a "risky situation". Well, D'oh! It's a hijacking, woman. Think!

So why haven't the Stews backed the idea?

All the whining about "air rage", just before 9/11 was what? a push for a pay raise on the sympathy ticket??

Guaranteed that if CCW permit holders were given full faith and credit for their permits, a short course in what NOT to shoot, and issued frangible ammo--to practice and qualify with--and pack onboard, that we would see a kinder, gentler, onboard clientelle.

An armed society is a polite society, after all.

Random armed passengers would be a lot harder to spot than an air marshal who flies a pattern of destinations. After all, these guys did their homework.

But even more than that, will the next attack come from the air? We have been alerted to this method, so why shouldn't the bad guy try something different.

Is it a coincidence that major port states NY, MD, CA, make it so difficult to be armed? Or have the socialists been concentrating their efforts in the legislatures to weaken our national defense at its most basic level--its citizenry?

Hell, all this time I thought it was just the Chinese paving the way for the invasion forces.
