Cool

Without knowing the exact consequences of discharging a weapon at 40 thousand feet, but believing it is preferable to what happened a week ago, I am in favour. It is a definite discouragement to anyone wanting to gain access to the flight deck. We are all ready for a rapid depressurisation, even though it is traumatic...
Steel cockpit doors won't work, intelligence didn't work, therefore take away the temptation - cockpit control.=
If the flightdeck cannot be controlled, what is the purpose of hijacking the aircraft? NONE !!!!

PS I have side-arms experience and would be willing to undero further training and carry a side arm. Anyone else willing?

Let the replies flood in!
