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.

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?
