I still don't know what is worse : risking a terrorist attack or bringing guns onboard...

I thought it was alread common knowledge that pilots could carry a firearm? Just like we all know an air marshal could be on your flight. I'm all for security, Im willing to stand in line an extra 15-20 minutes to make those idiots lives a little harder.

The last time my 'gun' went off onboard there were several hotties acting as flight attendants and available for my every whim. Of course that was nearly 20 years ago and those 'hotties' are now not so much.

My dad is a pilot for United Airlines and has thought about carrying a firearm on his flights but still has not taken all of the tests. Me personally I think if you are to scared of a pilot with a gun think about this, they control aircraft with up to 400 people on them and they are trusted! Why not let them defend themselves if apperently only 1% of the flights have air marshals.
