"Eric Mold, a retired Air Force fighter pilot in Vancouver, B.C., points out that even if only one out of 1,000 pilots carrying a weapon is "intent on doing mischief," that number is an unacceptable risk. "I call upon the other 99.9% of the [airline pilots] to reject this stupid idea," Mold says. So now the risk of some pilot going nuts and shooting people outweighs the need for control of the aircraft in case of an emergency. He just insulted the hsit out of all the airline pilots.

Also, why is this guy interviewing Canadians? Or is this "retired Air Force fighter pilot" just some dude who moved to Canada for some reason?

Anyway, his poll was just freeped and it needs to be freeped some more. The numbers are ONLY over 80% and 70% on the right side...

Too bad that "one out of 1000" pilots was not carrying a gun on one of those ill-fated flights on September 11th, eh?
This Joseph Anthony, each of his anti-gun interviewees, sounds like an imbecile.
