More evidence of weak security at GA airports

I'm pretty sure pilots are required to carry firearms in Alaska

Second, the presence of armed citizens
roaming around the periphery of the airport would discourage would-be
terrorists, thereby lessening the airport's security funding needs.

They definitely should. When I was up there this summer, I went on a few
outings with locals (kayaking and river rafting). All armed. My kind of
people. Guns to them are tools, not some vile instrument to wreak havoc
on city streets. (Like here in NH)
Necessary tools due to the brown and black bear population (the wimpish
bear spray isn't as reliable).


Most pilots there probably do carry guns. If forced to ditch somewhere,
you would want the tools to protect yourself.
