You'll note, prior to the early 70's there were no hijackings of any airliner anywhere in the world. Why is it so bad to go back to THAT kind of security.

Because that kind of security enabled the first glut of hijackings, DUH!

Your argument is specious and you know it.

So's yours. Give me eight shooters who've worked together and know what they're doing, I'll take down a 747 before any of your "militias of one" can get their weapon of choice clear of the holster.
