So now we have a situation where nothing material has changed since 11 Sep, pilots will not be allowed to have cockpit defense weapons, hardened cockpit doors will take years to deploy, and now our gub'ment is putting fighters on alert to shoot down aircraft that look threatening.
Tell me this gentlemen, if we had another set of suicide fanatics overpower the flightdeck and crash an airplane into a densely populated area tomorrow, do you think last-ditch lethal cockpit defense would still be a bad idea?
Bizzare.
