Plane Go "Bang"
Those of you wondering if our post-9/11 pilots are packing need wonder no more. If the tests on the popular show Mythbusters are any indication, discharging a gun in an airplane as it's flying around, even when pressurized, is nowhere near as dangerous as Hollywood has made it out to be. It is still a gun though, so it's still pretty damned dangerous.
Your safety. Let me show you it.
Armed pilots is a dumb idea. You'd do better to secure the cabin door, and hey-ho that's what they've done. Giving pilots weapons is just going to make them think that they can use them to defeat the hijackers, and they'll open the cockpit door, which is exactly what the hijackers want you do to.
