Tomorrow morning, WorldNetDaily columnist and reporter Jon Dougherty will join Phil Paleologos, host of the "American Breakfast" radio program, to discuss the arming of commercial airline pilots as a deterrent to terrorist hijackings.
Dougherty wrote a series of exclusive reports on the issue of arming pilots in the aftermath of Sept. 11 attacks, chronicling the progression of Federal Aviation Administration rulings that permitted, then later banned, commercial airline pilots to carry firearms in the cockpit.
According to Dougherty's reports, the FAA rescinded a rule allowing commercial airline pilots to be armed the same month it received a classified briefing that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network may be planning hijackings of U.S. airliners. His exclusive stories include: "FAA began 'disarming' pilots in '87," "Armed-pilot rule nixed after hijack briefing" and "Armed pilots banned 2 months before 9-11."
