Fokker.

I have already brought US skymarshals into and out of London. Armed skymarshals. Where do you suppose their guns went?

If we are deputized then we have the same reciprical rights as other lawenforcement.

So 50 crimes against one innocent life? So 50 september 11ths equals 250,000 dead people against one accident? Then howcome the UK is steadily arming their police force? After all there could be an accident with all those guns now in cops hands. But we could just let the 50 crimes go on and on.

In all the years that US pilots were required to carry guns there was never an accident with a gun that is documented, there was however one clearly documented foiling of an attempted skyjacking where the hijacker was shot dead in the cockpit! And this was in the days before the Palistinian nutcases...

Cheers
