[Shooter 2.5]

That's only one of the things that the airlines have to worry about. What happens if a passenger decides to attack a flight attendent? Does the pilot intervene? What happens if another passenger is shot? Are the airlines responsible for another passenger getting "traumatized" by the mear sight of a gun? Where are the guns going to be stored? Are the pilots going to transport the guns as their own personal property? Are the airlines responsible from any action away from the airport?
No one yet has an answer to any of this but all of this should have been discussed and the answers set in stone on 9/12. One more thing, the head of the FAA's term is up in August. That's what I heard.

All of that each airline should have had it written in their policies -- not in archaic stone -- since hijackings first became a problem. That means the policies should have been in place since the late 1960s. The government, being the most inept organization is the last one that should be setting policy.
