BJCC,
The COPS SHOULD BE SEACHED AND ALL WEAPONS INVENTORIED! in and out of the secure area.
The people that carried out these hijackings had been hiding in American for YEARS! They had wives and children here! What is to stop an accomplice from joining the police force just so that he can preposition guns in the terminals for the terrorirst? So what if a cop carries his service weapon + another concealed weapon and leaves the concealed weapon behind in the terminal?
I think that ALL security personel should go through security and inventory all weapons in and out of the secure area.
