Oh, btw, at a recent match I tried the US Air Marshal course of fire. I was told they must pass this test each time before they are allowed to board an aircraft. I'm a pretty fair shot and have passed several police qualification courses. I didn't pass the US Air Marshall test. I suspect they are quite good. Problem is, I'm sure we don't have enough.

Gun in cockpit? Crew goes to toilet...2 unarmed bods leap into the open door and steal weapon. Hmm....
Many cops shot with their own weapons.

To those opposed to arming pilots:

You think the events of 11 Sep would have been much worse if the pilots had been armed?
