What amazes me is that our government and some posters here are willing to have fighter planes shoot down airliners killing EVERYONE aboard with 100% certainty and quite possibly kiling others on the ground below while at the same time they oppose arming pilots because some innocent passenger might get shot or in the small % probability that a bullet hole somehow improbably crashes the airplane. Did these utter nimrods ever see the pictures of the Hawaiian Airlines plane where the freakin ROOF blew out? It landed safely.
