Yes. The only one.

OK...there might be one other person.

I'm up in the air (no pun intended). There will be the suicidal passengers who will off themselves in the lavatories. That would suck on long flights. At least with knives, the stewardesses will have a chance against hostiles.

I think I've come up with my new arguement for the anti gun types.....


" Bomb's are illegal but I still have to get my junk felt up every time I get on an airplane... "

I just read the below else where. Interesting about the luggage aspect...

I worked as an airport police officer just after 9/11. At that time civilian screeners were used to man the checkpoints. When TSA swooped in, roving bands of 10-12 of them wandered the concourses randomly screening people who had already pa...ssed through the checkpoint and were waiting to board their flight. In a short period of time, TSA spent BIG bucks on printers on the top of baggage x-ray machines which they did not use to the tune of $80,000 apiece and 1000's of bucks for radio earpieces which were used for about 2 wks. and then discarded because they were uncomfortable for the users. Many of the screeners had never seen what a disassembled pistol looked like on an x-ray machine during training. I took mine apart and sent it though the x-ray in a bag and more than half of them could'nt identify all of the parts. Other than a re-arrangement of the equipment at the checkpoint, I really could see no difference between the civilian and TSA screeners. If anything, one was safer flying when checked by the civilians because they knew what they were doing. It is all smoke and mirrors, folks and I saw TSA grow into the monstrosity it has become. Personally, I will never fly again. How can you be truly safe when they don't check the cargo going into the belly of the plane? Kind of stupid if you ask me.
