Skymarshals are aremed with ammo which is designed not to penetrate the fuselage skin.

The stun gun idea sounds like a good one -the engineer who said it would disable the aircraft sounded a bit alarmist. On what basis has he written his report -and why mention airbus specifically? All the modern jets have similar -often identical, electronic gear in the flight deck.
