If you watched the video from the APA, the weapons that simulated terrorists used were all parts of the aircraft. Not Flash bangs, grenades etc. It was assumed that security on the ground worked as advertised.

If the pilot's are cut down with machine guns that the terrorist brings on board, the pilots gun's haven't made the situation worse have they? But they certainly improve the odds against a knife weilding terrorist, which is something far more difficult to prevent from an airport security point of view.

What's your point?
So we should just give up?
Fly the plane into the building ourself?

Cheers
