The argument of guns on aircraft misses a fundamental change this crisis
has caused.
If you are on a flight next month and it is highjacked, what are you going
to do?
Will you sit in your seat and try to get a last look at what national
landmark you're going to become a permanent part of?
Or will every able bodied man and woman rush the bastards?
The Standard Operating Procedure has changed. Without government mandate.
The formula of "Sit quiet and negotiate" is no longer viable.
Civilians must and WILL act. Like United Airlines Flight 93, they may all
die. But 5,000 others will not.
It's academic in my mind. The wolfs upped the anti and the sheep no longer
have any choice.
