Armed & Fortified Flight Deck

My post was not directed at you 99,but at previous submissions.
You posted your comment while I was typing my post , so I came in after your post. Please accept my apology for seeming to complain about your cluttering the thread which you certainly have not done.

New Subject:
How's this for a typical example of the bureaucratic wiseass, taken from the recent hearings on the 9/11 tragedy.

Senator George Allen (R) Va. " If they had firearms,if they had a pistol to defend themselves or their plane,would that have made a difference ?"

John Magraw. Transportation Security Under Secretary
(who unilaterally has made the decision that pilots should not be armed & is trying to tin plate his ass as all bureaucrats do)

"Well it may have,but that's a lot different today than it was then"
??????????????????????
Ah - Say again all after 'Well' ?

And that, fellow Pruners, is the argument for not arming the flight deck!?
