After Tuesday's aftermath, there is talk in the media of arming pilots with guns. Is this really an answer? Or will Sky Marshals be the answer? If I'm not mistaken, if a gun goes off in a plane and misses its intended target and say, punctures a wall or shatters a window, won't the cabin depressurize and cause the plane to lose altitude, if not go out of control and crash or at the least be forced to land immediately, God(Steve) knows where? Not to mention if a stray bullet should hit a passenger...Lawsuit, lawsuit, cha-ching! Also, every bleeding heart will be up in arms, pun intended. Maybe Tasers could be used, at least until phasers are invented? Having heavily sealed doors on cockpits won't help much either. The pilots urinate and drink coffee.
I know these are slim possibilities, but when dealing with maniacs who give their lives freely for an insane cause, will these precautions really help or deter a madman? NO!
More stringent security before boarding would seem to be the immediate answer, but what will this lead to? We must be cautious and wary of any new regulations or laws which may limit our freedoms. We do not want a police state induced by fear. A friend of mine works in a government sponsored office for drug rehab. No, I'm not in rehab.
The employees are now padded down as they enter. Sounds like the Sony E center to me. Restrictions are made for safety, yet we still get bombed.
My answer to all of this? Have no mercy on those responsible. Remove it from the root. Don't take them to court, George W.! Even executing the leaders is insufficient, for replacement leaders are waiting in the winds. Walking away from this without retribution would be the biggest mistake ever, for it will happen again and again.
