List of places no one should be allowed to possess a firearm:

Yea, and dont you guys have a firearm in the cabin with you? But those of us flying in coach cannot?

Dude.....then walk or ride a bus. We'll be ok without you.

Man I always like quotes like this! How many airlines have declared bankruptcy? And needed bailouts to continue operating? How much effect will the next "incident" on an aircraft have? And there will be one, because you have the TSA as your only line of defense, which has been proven ineffective, and a cabin full of defenseless passengers. Its what the military calls a "target rich environment" for whackos.

Your proving my point every time you type.

ANd your proving mine. There is zero reason why a citizen should not have the right to carry a firearm on board an airplane. The exact same logic could be applied to any public transportation or venue. In fact that is the exact same logic being applied to magazine limits, UBC's, and the CCW on college campuses. I mean, the guy next to you with a firearm might have just broken up with his gf and be unstable and lose it.

Get over yourself. Your not better than me or any other citizen. That you choose to hold the public in such disdain is somewhat interesting. Perhaps you should seek employment with the Democrat Party Comrade.

No I am not better....nor did I say I was better. What I did explain to you while using small words is that I work in this environment and the odds are I know a lot more than you do about it. Hold the public in disdain? Dude, the flying public pays my salary and I'm thankful as hell for that. Now I'm a Democrat because you disagree with me? I tell you what find 5 Airline pilots that agree with you and I'll issue you a public apology.

TSA is not the only line of defense.

Passengers, post 9/11 are anything but defenseless. I think many people would be shocked just what passengers have done to their fellow passengers when they have done stupid things on airplanes after 9/11. It would take a mighty foolish individual to jump up and take a screaming run at a flight deck door today. God help the fool if the plane is on it's way to an airport near a large military base and the plane is full of young and vigorous members of our military. There would be a world of hurt delivered unto the wicked on that flight.

Point ceded, and your right I have seen a greater awareness among many passengers on my flights.
I was stuck in an airport on 9/11. I had a bag full of specialty tools with me that I had carried from TN to CA for a contract working with a race team there. On the way out I just popped them into the underseat, on the way back the police officer inspecting the bag nearly crapped himself when he saw the saws and other tools in the bag.
