In a stunning reversal, California's liberal Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer has come out in favor of allowing airline pilots to carry guns if they wish, while the Bush administration opposes it. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has passed a bill to permit pilots to carry guns by a vote of 310 to 113.
....... But the Transportation Department remains closed-minded on the issue. When asked by Rep. Don Young, Alaska Republican, "Do you really think that 9/11 would have happened if our pilots had been armed, as they should have been armed?" a spokesman for the Transportation Department replied: "Our position remains unchanged."

The Bush administration opposes a bill to allow commercial pilots to have guns in the cockpit, but it appears that overwhelming bipartisan support could force the government to reverse its position, CNN reported Aug. 26.
Not according to Undersecretary of Transportation for Security John Magaw, who recently announced that the Bush administration opposes arming pilots, on the theory that pilots are for flying, not defending, airplanes.
You have none. You are bankrupt. At best, and I mean at BEST, you can show that the media CLAIMED that Bush was against arming pilots. What you can't show (yes, that's right you can't show it because you've either made it up or actually believed some leftists in the press) is that Bush himself opposed arming pilots.
I'd be embarrassed if I were you... Who does John Magaw work for? Did he just take a position in direct violation of Bush's wishes or does Bush have some control over what his cabinet officials say?
You are amazing. You clearly don't know what has been happening in America.
To wit: Bush FIRED Magaw and then signed the second pro-gun pilot-arming bill into law.
So to answer your question about who Magaw works for, the answer is: Not Bush.
Likewise, as I stated earlier, the BEST that you could do would be to show that the MEDIA, not Bush himself, claimed that Bush opposed arming pilots.
Magaw found that out the hard way, and now I've managed to get an additional chuckle from the whole thing (as clearly you don't know what it is that you are rambling about).
