I know that you have much more experience and knowledge on this subject than I do. I will not argue with you.
All I am saying is that I feel much safer up there with no guns on the plane compared to the good guys having guns. I know it is a very rare occurance but look at the Air Canada pilot that had some sort of nervous break down while in the air several weeks ago. He came out of the cockpit screaming and asking for God. If he had a gun, what could have happened?
Worse still, what if there are bad guys on an aircraft. If security is doing their job, there is no way that a bad guy can get a gun on a plane. But maybe, just maybe, he could wrestle a gun away from a pilot now you have an armed bad guy.
I am all in favor of shooting terrorists, I just don't like the idea of it happening while up in the air. I think that far too many things could go wrong.
That must have been one scary landing in that convertible 737 in Hawaii.
