Ladies and gentlemen, before we depart I would like to make the following announcement. We have a passenger on this aircraft who is carrying a gun. He says that he’s a Secret Service Agent. He has tried three times to submit the paperwork that would authorize him to board this flight with a loaded firearm. Each time he has filled out the paperwork incorrectly. He appears to me to be nervous and anxious. I believe he has been acting in a belligerent manner. I’m going to allow him to remain on board because he is of Middle Eastern descent and I’m concerned that if we deny him his seat he might file a lawsuit against this airline claiming racial profiling. Before we close the doors and push back I’m going to allow any of you who would like to take a later flight to grab your stuff and leave.” Just how many people do you think will be on that flight?

This puts it in perspective. I bet even the seatmate who said the pilot was being discrimatory would be out of his seat in a flash.

How about this to put it into perspective:

"Ladies and gentlemen, before we depart I would like to make the following announcement. We have a passenger in this terminal who is carrying a gun. He says that he’s a Secret Service Agent. He has tried three times to submit the paperwork that would authorize him to board this flight with a loaded firearm. Each time he has filled out the paperwork incorrectly. He appears to me to be nervous and anxious. I believe he has been acting in a belligerent manner. I just kicked him off because of this but of course let him keep his automatic machine pistol."

Wait a minute the terminal just emptied.

I will never feel safe again with Pilots allowing armed terroist to roam the terminals.
