The idea that "armed pilots" are more than a backstop to other security measures is romantic but foolish - pilots have much more important tasks than threatening passengers, and of course Bad Guys would _never_ make their move during times of high workload. You bring up some compelling points. I'm curious as to exactly how an airline pilot, effectively walled-off from intruders by bulletproof cockpit doors, is able to bring his weapon to bear against the bad guys. Are there holes or slits in the cockpit doors (ala a Brinks or Wells Fargo truck) to allow the pilots to poke their gun barrels through so as to aim with precision while shooting back at the bad guys? |
