Uh, and what do you/we think will happen when a couple of bullets go through the plane i.e. a pressurized cabin?

Uh, nothing.

A small hole in an airplane is not going to be a big deal, I don't care how high it is. All of that explosive decompression hogwash is just Hollywood special effects. If you put a bullethole in an airplane, you are left with just that, a bullethole. Even if the plane does have a chance do decompress through that small hole (which would take hours) the supplemental oxygen masks would just deploy.

Or do you prefer to be smashed into a stationary object at 500 mph?

There is ammunition available that would not penetrate a cabin wall, but would effectively stop a terorist. The type of ammunition used would need control without any question, due to the sophistication of the equiptment of the aircraft, and pressurization of the cabin. These concerns are not a reason to not arm flight crews. The radical left wing gun grabbers are the only impediment to this logical step in Terrorist control. Time to put these Marxists in their place, before any more innocent people have to die.

You don't know much about airplane pressurization if you have to ask that question.

There are always holes and leaks in an passenger airplane cabin. One more won't kill the passengers.

Besides there are bullets that reduce even that small amount of risk.

Question . . . Would you rather fly into a building or suffer a gradual decompression loss? Your choice.

The oxygen masks drop and the pilot brings the plane down to a lower altitude. No body gets sucked out the window like in the movies. There is a little noise and a little wind.

It is much better than crashing into a building full of Americans.
