Lawmakers add pressure to let pilots have guns

Things are looking up a little anyway..

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said President Bush is unlikely to support the idea. Bush plans to follow the advice of administration officials, Fleischer said, "and the recommendation of the experts is that this not proceed." Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge and Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta oppose arming pilots."

It's time to let the Whitehouse know what people want.

Sometimes I get a scary feeling that we have leaders that are not really on our side! I will never get on another airliner knowing that the only armed person likely to be aboard is a hijacker that has a buddy servicing the plane.

Hardly a week goes by without a revelation about a gun being aboard a plane.

Our leaders are gonna wait for another disaster and then they will do the right thing. (as usual)
