Arming Pilots
Bruce Schneier has an argument against arming pilots in the latest issue of the Cyrpto-Gram Newsletter. Now, of course, I’m for arming pilots (hell, I’m for arming everyone… except for criminals, dumb children, and chimpanzees), but it’s nice to see a well thought out argument against arming pilots that isn’t laden with complete idiocy (e.g., one from Fritz Hollings). But I think all the issues Schneier points out, though important, can be overcome. Also, I think quickly implementing the “quintessentially American solution” is always better than endlessly carping about the problem and doing nothing (i.e., the quintessentially European solution).
