What a load of bull... Keep up that paranoid obsession, and you'll end up just as bad as the ones you want to keep out...

Guns on the flightdeck have not, and will not solve anything...
I read only wishful denial and your own paranoia in your post.

Why is it that the more proactive group on this issue presents a logical rationale for responding to a known threat and all the nay sayers can do is come up with either of full on case of "head in the sand" denial of the continuing threat or an ignorant stereotyping to use to try to discredit a nationality?

Security screening
Hardened door
Armed officers in the cabin
Armed and deputized pilots in the cockpit

Each of these solutions are completely reasonable responses to the threat. It seems to me to only to be a matter of debate as to the effectiveness and necessity of each.

Denying the existance of the threat is just plain stupid and insulting the proponents of one obvious response is just plain unhelpful.
