When did you go off of the deep end! You're prepared to have passenger jets shot down by our fighters if terrorists gain control of the jets, but you don't think it is justified for the pilots to constitute a last line of defense in the cockpits before a jet is shot down.

What you just said doesn't make sense. And I have to say I am surprised cuz usually you make sense. The whole point of this is that we shouldn't act like victims. And to rely solely on Air Marshals for the defense of passenger jets is a recipe for victimhood.

Exactly. These pilots shouldn't get shot down without a fighting chance

Yesterday, on one of the talking-head shows(I apologize for not remembering which one), a guest said "There could be dire consequences if Pilots are armed." How stupid and unthinking can these people be? How much more dire can the consequences be than what happened on 9-11?

Brilliant observation!
