Ironraven, Susan, and Ki4buc,-

Seriously speaking, -Just stick with Skymarshalls. Such a person or persons should remain anonymous, -*not* be readily known. And sure, -we need substantially more than we've got.

If you're seriously not kidding, -weapons under some or all seats are a complete Non Starter. Terrorists or other skyjackers could just as easily get at them.

(no matter that they already could just as easily have weapons etc of their own too. And paraphrasing the famous NRA slogan, -if you eliminate defensive weaponry from a plane, -only a skyjacker etc will have a weapon, -this is true. But also just having weapons aboard ready for their taking, -is folly too.)

Again, -just stick with the anonymous Skymarshall. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]ki4buc[/email]
