ALPA's 66,000 pilots and Allied Pilots Association 11,000 pistol toting pilots...? How can all those loaded weapons remain safe at airport checkpoints and in cockpits? Would foreign countries allow U.S. airline pilots to possess loaded guns?
Impractical reality. The answer is bulletproof reinforced bulkheads with steel doors and heavy locks...and revised inflight security training. My Leatherman was confiscated, but Now I'm supposed to be OK to carry a loaded pistol?
