Pilots with guns scare ABC s Cokie Roberts (Idiot Alert!)

I love the liberal belief that very strong cockpit doors will keep us safe.

There is no toilet in the cockpit. What happens in the co-pilot goes to take a leak and is overtaken---allowing the terrorist access into the cockpit?

The door is very strong so any Todd Beamers in the cabin are just out of luck.

But at least Cokie feels safe.

As if this woman has flown commercial in the last thirty years....

Pilots with guns scare ABC’s Cokie Roberts because “airplanes is one of the few places I feel safe from guns...

Airplanes is? Airplanes is? This idiot (Cokie) earns a living with the English language (spoken/written)?

Hey Ms. Cokehead. It's airplanes ARE!

[csvset]

When Cokie and Sam take their next flight, I sincerely hope the pilots will refuse to fly them.

That would be a laugh riot.

"Ms. Roberts, we're the crew and we're "off our nut", so please, leave now."

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.

You’re darn right we do! I just copied this to the ALPA forum and I’m in the process of e-mailing it to 8 buddies as we speak… with you comments included and a link to this post.

The elitist attitude of these two socialist boot lickers is nauseating. I sincerely hope they try and board my jet in the near future. I assume they are most likely flying via charter when able. After 9/11 we saw a massive jump in charter requests especially from the left coast limo liberals who no longer wanted to ride with the common folk.

Who wanted to fly via private jet to and from their destinations. But demand that the good little serfs stand patiently in line at the security check in and be strip-searched by Olga and Abdul the newhire security guards.

Jeezzzzzzz! The mentality of these Nazi turds makes me want to vomit!

Roberts interjected: “Suppose the hijackers had pulled the gun out of the pilot’s hand if the pilot had a gun?”

What a dumb, emotionally-driven slit.

It would have meant that the plane would hit its intended target - just as it did.

However, an armed crew member would have increased the chance that they would have never gotten control of the cockpit. No downside - only an upside.

"men & women of integrity"

This is something that leftists never expect to find. That's why they need rules for every aspect of everyone's life.

When they do find integrity, they feel their authority is threatened and their instinct is to attack.

[pray4liberty]

I'll tell you this. There may be a few, and I mean a few pilots who don't want to carry a gun in the cockpit. However, their wives want them armed.

Even Cokie, with her very limited intelligence, can probably figure out why.

[Senator Pardek]

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

Thank you.

If either Donaldson or Roberts were to be awarded Darwin Awards as a result of some action due to their mental prowess, the collective aggregate IQ of the entire world would go up at least a couple points (if not more).

[glockmeister40]

I wonder how safe asshole cokie feels about passengers with boxcutters?

[Hagrid]

The Egyptian Air pilot went off his nut and killed everyone. We know that the current no-gun policy didn't work. It's a small chance but the other pilot who was trying to save the plane might have shot the suicidal pilot.

A small chance, but better than nothing.

[Jolly Green]

This segment was a hoot! Obviously, Kookie thinks this is all about her. She really flipped out. She doesn't have the brain capacity to see the big picture or to think that there might be a bigger loss than her getting shot. She is really, really lame.

[codder too]

I know this is off the subject of guns in the cockpit, but....

Heard today that Boston Judge who is to hold Cardinal Law's deposition wants to do so NOW. She has heard that he may be called to Rome . She "supposed " that he might be made ambassador. Diplomatic immunity??

SO...isn't Cokie's Mom the current ambassador?

Cokie might have to "fly" there to bring her home. She does know that Air Marshalls are armed doesn't she?

[vortigern]

From the time the plane lifts off until it lands, the pilot has every passengers' life in his hands. Yet, Kookie is worried about a side-arm in the possession of the very person flying the plane has her worried? Somebody needs to slap common sense in this b**ch.

Pilots with guns scare ABC’s Cokie Roberts because “airplanes is one of the few places I feel safe from guns. Having some pilot who’s gone off his nut for some reason running around with a gun does not make me feel safe.”

Ever since David Brinkley retired, I watched the show less often, though often enough to witness its decline. Finally, by a few months ago, I stopped watching it altogether. It's the idiocy of all of the commentators, including "conservative" icon George Will that is unstomachable.

What Kookie Roberts does not realize is that if the pilot goes off his rocker or has some crazed psychotic episode, he's got a much bigger weapon than a gun at his disposal.

The events of 9-11 proved that a passenger airplane can be a deadly weapon when in the hands of crazed psychotics (though, in that case it was Arab, Islamic terrorists, not the pilots, of course).

Kookie's statement proves that she has learned absolutely nothing from the attacks of September 11th. It proves liberals like her are brain dead.

It won't help ABC when they replace Vulcan-Ambassador-wannabe Sam Donaldson and big-eyed Cokie with girly-man George Stephanopolous. Sheesh, when that happens poor old "conservative" George Will will probably look more constipated than ever.

So the impecable logic is Cokie and/or Donaldson would rather be on that Egypt Air flight that went straight into the ocean as a result of the co-pilot that went off on a nut, rather than on a flight were the pilots were armed to prevent a passenger from barging into the cockpit to force the plane into the ocean, because the pilots might go off on a nut?

Hmmm. Right, good thinking.

[prophetic]

obviously another brain-bleached victim of the political correct police.

[jackbill]

Can ya'll believe the logic of these people? Jeez!

Liberal logic is an oxymoron.

[raygun]

Oh, yeah baby! I think they both are mighty suspicious (they might go off on a nut or something). Definately barred from air-travel I say. Remember, flying is a privilage not a right. That's what they'd say about private gun ownership I'm sure.
