There is a huge commotion in the cabin, screams, fighting, and now someone is trying to break down the cockpit door.
I don't need to be a marksman, or a delta force team member to empty a magazine into the first, second, and third guy that manages to break through any part of the door. This elitist BS about being some sort of trained anti-terrorist expert is a red-herring meant to confuse people who can't think critically. As far as pax or crew being injured inadvertantly . . . does anyone think that an Air Marshall would even hesitate to shoot through a pax if the survival of the aircraft and the lives of maybe thousands on the ground was at stake?? How do you feel about Barney Fife and Mr. Fish Inspector packing iron in the cabin?? How much proficiency and training does Mr. Fish and Game Warden have in close order combat in an aircraft?
The alternative to losing command of the aircraft is mass death of those on-board AND a lot of people on the ground. I'm sure 9-11 would have been MUCH worse off if they had lethal cockpit defense. The lack of common sense with some of you is astounding.
