The bill to arm pilots has just passed the house, which is good because all the arguments against arming pilots were idiotic. I mean, you have a situation where terrorists are trying to kill everybody and F-16’s are going to shoot the plane out of the sky and people are worried that the pilot might then put a tiny hole in the plane or graze a stewardess? Sen. Fritz Hollings, who’s an ass, is probably going to keep this from a vote in the Senate, though. If only the pilots had guns I bet he wouldn’t dis’ them like that.
