Exclamation ..Y'all do some strange things over the water.

In my humble opinion.....If I was a terrorist wanting to hijack an aircraft.

Would I:

a) Attempt to sneak a ceramic (or other hard-to-detect) gun through secruity - thus endagering the sucess of my mission.

OR

b) Not bother and let the Knee-Jerking Government pre-load my weapon for me. Which, no doubt will be convieniently located in to the side and slightly behind the crew seats AKA in their flight cases.

Why would a terrorist bother carrying his own 'piece' if he knows he has access to the flight decks' own weapon via the forward toilet bulkhead(and cockpit door for that matter) and the conveniently located fire axe?

'Fodder' for thought?
