I don't agree with pilots carrying fire arms...
However, if the US are that scared of men in caves then I wouldn't mind having armed security officers on board the aircraft pretending to be normal airline passengers. They could switch from flight to flight so that the "terrorists" wont know which flight they are on board. I believe t hat would be a deterrent.
It wouldn't work in the UK anyway... Ryanair would require all crew to purchase their own weapon
