But what's to stop the terrorist from getting into a shootout with the air marshal? The terrorist won't have frangible bullets. Then you have the specter of a bullet piercing the airplane's skin, explosion decompression and all that entails, even unto passengers being sucked out of the aircraft." The statement, of course, went unchallenged by the host. What would you challenge? The fact that you don't want guns on board? The possibility of explosive decompression? What's better, explosive decompression or a fuel-loaded airplane being slammed into a busy downtown area by a terrorist who is able to gain control of the airplane? JKG |
