    The goal is not to stop the people in the queue being attacked, its to stop someone boarding a plane with the means to hijack it

      Yeah, and you don’t need the TSA for that. Just do as they already do: lock the cockpit.

        Little known fact: many of the pilots behind those locked doors are armed as well.

        The Flight Deck Officer program allows pilots to volunteer to become deputized Air Marshals. They receive training and are issued a badge and a gun.

            Police officers are mentally ill? Interesting take.

            Also, we’re talking about pilots that you are already trusting with you’re life and the lives of hundreds of people with you. If they were mentally ill they could just crash the plane and kill you.

            These guys are genuinely invested in maintaining the safety of human lives.

              They should continue focusing on that instead of gun politics and their farcical contrived scenarios to have guns on a civil plane.

      Ah yes, it’s okay if we die, just don’t take the corporate infrastructure with you when you go…
