You mean to tell me the plane didn't crash in a gigantic fireball when that gun went off. Or it didn't blow a hole and everyone got sucked out?

Thats what happens in the movies.

CRIME, GUNS, AND VIDEOTAPE: Gun Accident In U.S. Airways Airliner Cockpit Was TSA Engineered!

Trigger locks on a loaded gun is an accident waiting to happen. Not all the facts are in, but this just ain't right.

What's the word I'm looking for here... Oh yeah, "D'oh!"

This is NOT the kind of thing that will help our cause...

Was he messing with the gun in the cockpit. I'm trying to figure out how that could have happened based on the hole

Good information in there about the ridiculous requirements of those pilots.

The silver lining I see in this (and I had to look deeeeep into this cloud) is that at least the bad guys know that there really are guns on board and they really do work.

What we need now is an uproar from some training type folks about the stupid procedural requirments set up by TSA that are the cause of this problem.

Last thing we need is the antis spouting off about how unsafe guns inherently are because even trained pilots can't not perforate stuff.:do2:

And they better not fry that pilot.

PS - My first time with the icons. I'm better now.

The icons are addictive aren't they?
