Why not arm them with Tasers? Is that a stupid suggestion with the electronics on the flight deck?
In technical terms, are pilots not considered Peace Officers? And do we not arm Peace officers in some of our countries?
And if we really want those up front armed in some way...why not have the Air Marshall sit up front in the jump seat?? With his MP5 slung over his chest, while he wears his nomex, navy blue flight suit, ski mask, etc etc etc.....I am only kidding about the last bit there. But really, If we really want to arm the flight deck, why not move an Air Marshall up there?
