You can input these new statistics into the risk assessment matrix if you like:
forced entries into cockpit - 0
terrorist hijack attempts using deadly force in flight - 0
pilots required to use firearms in flight - 0
accidental/negligent discharge of loaded firearms in cockpit - 1
lives threatened by terrorist activity in flight - 0
lives threatened by discharge of firearms in cockpit - 2
BTW, where was the "whining"? I must be going blind!
