Actually, in the Battle History of the Air Force, the AF historian, Dr. Richard P. Hallion said, in the epilogue, "Had there been one armed citizen on each aircraft, September 11th would not have happened."
That sounds mainstream to me.

BTW great cartoon.

I used to work for a preacher back in '88 in SC. He once told me he had a cure for hi-jackings... to issue every person that stepped foot on a plane (1) handgun with (1) bullet and (1) license to kill.

don't forget, the terrorists would have then been able to carry guns also - could've been REALLY messy...........funny cartoon though...........

Here's an idea. A special license to carry on commercial airplanes. Just a closer background test.

Maybe certain restrictions to keep the caliber lower and the bullets less damaging. We don't want bullets going threw the terrorist and the wall into the crew.

The air marshals carry 357 sigs loaded with a conventional hollowpoint. They're not too concerned about penetrating the aircraft hull (since it doesn't do anything but hiss)...but they also don't miss.

I'm not sure, but i would hope that the enhanced cockpit doors now mandatory on all planes are at least somewhat bullet resistant

shooting requirements for air marshals are some of the strictest there are, but sadly their job is one of the most boring in law enforcement/homeland security.......
