The nascent point is that all the nanny state protections didn't protect us on 9/11. It was the passengers of flight 93.
Personally, I want to walk up to the security area, step into a side door, present my ID and CCW permit, get handed 2 boxes of Frangible 9mm, dump my carry loads in a bin that gets handed off to the flight crew and load up my 2-3 magazines with the frangibles. Between the air marshalls, the pilots who should ALL have M1911s or .357 revolvers, and citizens, we'd have this terrorism threat dealt with nicely. And assholes that misbehave on the flights would be told to do exactly what the nice stewardess says.
But, no. The Democrats would scream BLOODY MURDER because someone that's not a be-knighted government official is armed. Remember, who exactly bitched about pilots not having the need to have firearms onboard the aircraft they command?
