Sad, but True!

[SuperScout]

The director of the Federal Air Marshal Service is opposing a bill to speed up the arming of commercial airline pilots to protect the cockpit from hijackers.

But one of the lead sponsors says Thomas Quinn's concerns, voiced in an internal memo, are "ridiculous." Among Mr. Quinn's concerns: The "pilot receives no training in interview techniques."

Reacts Rep. Joe Wilson, South Carolina Republican: "We are not proposing they interview the terrorists as they storm the cockpit, let's get serious." Another of Mr. Quinn's concerns: The "pilot receives no training in the laws of search and seizure."

Mr. Wilson? "There won't be a search and seizure until after the shooting has occurred," he says. "Then law enforcement can come in and search the hijacker who has been stopped from hijacking the plane."

Close off the cockpit, make a door to the outside only.
If a hyjacker wants to kill people in the back than the people in the back should kill him. If the hyjacker is going to blow or shoot a hole in the plane than having an armed pilot wont matter. I don't care if the pilots are armed, but I would like to see the access to the cockpit removed.
Just my opinion though.
