Dear Cookie, Kooky, or whatever her name is, if the pilot wanted to "go off his nut", why bother with a gun? He could just crash the plane.

When Cokie and Sam take their next flight, I sincerely hope the pilots will refuse to fly them. Pilots have the authority to throw any suspicious passenger off the plane, and they don't have to give a reason, either.

"Having some pilot whos gone off his nut for some reason running around with a gun does not make me feel safe.This could go down in FReeper history as one of the most moronic statements ever!

Exactly...if a pilot goes "off his nut", then the pilot having a gun is the LEAST of her worries.

I bet she *really* gets scared when she thinks of a pilot running amok with toenail clippers.
How do these liberals manage to get dressed and to the office being as stupid as they are?

"Can ya'll believe the logic of these people? Jeez!" What do you think those checks from the "United Nations Disarm America" fund are all about?
To: Draakan
September 11th was the result of everything that liberals stand for, such as:
Guns are bad
Americans do not have a Right to self defense
Americans do not have a Right to carry guns
Americans should not fight back and resist criminals
Profiling is bad
Discrimination is the most evil thing in the world.
Islam is a religion of peace.
Now we are seeing two more things emerge:
1) Liberals will never admit when they are wrong, and
2) Republicans are too stupid or they lack the backbone to capitalize on the situation and repudiate liberalism for once and for all.

I do not understand this conversation.
The vast majority of american commercial pilots are prior-service military; that is how they got their training. Flying military aircraft, equipped with guns and bombs.
And a large percentage are military reservists - listen to the airlines scream every time the pilots are called up.
So - we can trust them to fly $300 million airplanes, loaded to the hilt with ordinance, or carrying 300+ civilian passengers, but not to carry a pistol?
This is stupid beyond any measure.

hey cokie wait till you are barreling toward the sears tower at 550 mph and see how safe you fell you moron
To: Draakan
"Suppose the hijackers had pulled the gun out of the pilots hand if the pilot had a gun? Wow, Cokie, good point. If that had happened then those guys could have done anything they wanted, even taken over the planes entirely and flown them into.....oh wait, that happened anyway. And because the passengers were completely unarmed, not because the pilot had a gun which was stolen from him. And Cokie had the nerve to criticize Bush's debating skills and "gravitas"?
To: sport
LOL.
But why do you have to bring liberal icons of worship into the discussion? ;-)

'Course some pilot who's gone off his nut being at the controls of the plane doesn't bother her feeling of safety. The solution, of course, is to not allow any pilots on the plane either. Then Cokie can feel perfectly safe. Sam Donaldson can fly it.

And because the passengers were completely unarmed... And I do not think letting the passengers go on armed is the solution. I meant to say the passengers and crew were completely unarmed.
To: Draakan
During takeoff or landing, a pilot who wanted to go out in a blaze of glory could do so in a heartbeat. As a whole, commercial pilots are men & women of integrity and the chance of such an incident is virtually nil. Arm them. Help them to do the job they are paid to do, that is, control & fly an aircraft from Point A to Point B, prepared & trained to face any & all hazards.

Somebody tell Cokie that El-Al (the Israeli airline) has armed pilots. Their record of non-incidents speaks for itself.
