Re: Solution for air travel security

How about if passsengers were allowed to carry guns on board of an airplane?

Or how about FAA just places Blackwater mercs on each flight. Seems just as safe.

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

I do not want Obama on an airplane armed...

Nor a racist like Deci...

Nor a fool like Kemp...

Or a troll like Kemp...

Or a drug addict like Kemp...


Just would be so sloppy. Plus normal bullets on planes is a big no no. Break air pressure near max altitude is as bad as blowing the plane up... almost...

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Now, I understand your second point, but this particular argument in isolation brings an interesting issue: How does this interact with the general right to arms?  I.e., is there any distinction between Deci's right to carry a gun in general an his right to carry a gun on an airplane?

Re: Solution for air travel security

Well it could be broken into three arguements:

1) Air Plane is private property therefore they can make the rules of their property.

2) Safety Concerns of ammunition 'cooking off' or otherwise 'triggering' due to atmospheric controls or other such creates a hazardous environment if a weapon is brought on.

3) The actual reason used, a single shot from a weapon usually is fatal at altitudes, and for other security reasons, people will not be trusted with guns lest they commit a crime that endagers all at once with no easy rememedy.

Re: Solution for air travel security

I've decided that since no interUS flight lasts longer than a root canal, passengers should be forced into locked rooms, strip, put on airport-issued scrubs, seal their personal effects, then get strapped into a wheelchair and sedated, and transported unconscious.

Not only would this prevent active terrorism - since you can't hide a time bomb inside people undetectably - but it would save the airlines millions in movies, drinks, food, bathrooms, and comfy chairs.  You could also stack passengers on top of each other.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
