I still don't see what that has to do with *my* Right to keep and bear arms. Urgh. I'd never want to get on a plane knowing that anyone who was on there was armed. Somehow, the idea of people carrying guns into a suffocating metal tube rocketing 30,000 feet in the air for several hours while I'm in it isn't appealing. Perhaps if security was doing their job correctly, no one would have weapons, hidden terrorists included!

Well, pilots flew armed for decades before the 1980s, and Federal agents and even local cops in some situations have been able to fly armed for decades.

Do you have a problem with that, or do you just have a problem with us serfs exercising that Right?

Do have the same problem with citizens carrying guns in a crowded restaurant or shopping mall?

Yeah.. disarm everyone except for the government. That did wonders in Cambodia and Germany.
