"Let's Roll" was the exception to the rule.
2. Do you really want everyone carrying firearms on an airline. It scares me knowing there might be an air marshall on my flight. Guns fired in a plane does not seem practical in resolving situations to me.
3. It is hard enough for professionals to get it right when confronted with a volatile and unpredictable situation. ie. London shooting of recent memory. And I believe they had every right to do as they did.
No Thanks!

1. Why do you think that is? I think it's a direct result of social conditioning and prohibitive self defense laws. I think our society relies too heavily on laws and law enforcement for our protection.
2. How much more would it scare the terrorists? I understand the pressurization problem, but they would have a dandy of a time pulling off another 9/11
3. I agree that security professionals (be they LEO or private) have a very hard job, but at the same time, I think the intention of making the job easier has fostered an environment of easy prey i.e. people with no means of self defense whose safety depends on an ever dwindling number of individuals that are not required to protect them anyways.
And yes, I did ask for it...
