stevevan Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Since I work with the Federal Aviation Administration, I thought I'd share this link with the family. Personally, I think I'd feel a little uneasy if I ever actually heard this. Quote

DWD Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Given that the pilot may already be packing enough firepower to single-handedly bring down one of the largest buildings in the world, I'd feel a lot more comfortable knowing that he was additionally packing some personal firepower to dissuade anyone from trying to take control of the bigger weapon. Thick doors are nice, but sometimes the best defense is a good offense. If you knew tonight an intruder was coming after you and your family, would feel comfortable with just a reinforced door or would you rather have a little bit of firepower at the ready? Quote

Doesn't that depend on how many you pump into someone? Besides, I'd think it's better than something that would depressurize the compartment by going through the person and the window. Seriously, I heard that the air marshals have special bullets that immediately pancake inside the target so that doesn't happen... dunno if they're .22's or not... but that sounds like it would do massive damage to organs if it doesn't hit bone first.
