A SIMILAR MEASURE IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A TOUGHER TIME GETTING THROUGH THE

"Armed pilots and trained flight attendants are the first line of
deterrence and the last line of defense to keep this aircraft from
becoming a weapon of mass destruction and killing innocent people both in the air and on the ground."
SEN. BARBARA BOXER/D-CA
"Indeed, it is a matter of life and death. Why do I say this? Because if
a plane is considered under the control of hijackers it will be shot
down by our military.
WHILE PILOT UNIONS HAVE LOBBIED HARD FOR THE RIGHT TO CARRY GUNS, THE
AIRLINE INDUSTRY AND A FLIGHT ATTENDANTS' GROUP HAVE OPPOSED THE IDEA.
