Agreed, that is why I prefer simply letting passengers with Concealed Carry
Permits carry anywhere, including airplanes. Thatg way there is no way for a
terrorist to know how many are on board, who they are, and if all have
revealed
themsleves in response to a provocation.

How is that going to help with aircraft flying to the USA? Marshals
might be one thing but private citizens are very unlikely to be able to
carry their weapons out of many (if any) countries.

True, but by empowering the passengers to defend the cabin, professional
resources can then be redirected to international flights.

If the French and Brits can't find anyone who remembers which end of a handgun
the fire comes out of, to train as air amrshalls, we can loan them some on
flights coming into the US.
