pretty cute cartoon, but if everybody's allowed to bring a gun on the plane, what's to stop the terrorists from bringing a machine gun, or from taking the gun away from a scared passenger? :evil:

actually, it's a very good point. and a cute cartoon.

Hmmm...Sept. 11th....boxcutters....no guns involved....

About the only way you will truly remove any possiblility of weapons being used by terrorists is to make everyone fly naked, and even then, I'm not sure someone wouldn't try to slip something by (bad mental image here :what: )

What do you do if say, someone replace the regular strings in their sneakers with reinforced strings that could be used as a garrot? They'd pull out the strings and start strangling folks...

I get your point, voilsb, but I'm not really sure what the best answer is. :)

Great cartoon. The artist is quite talented! :D

btw, are you Raistlin the Red, or Black?

I'm told at least one attempt has been made to smuggle an NAA minirevolver into a prison in someplace...impolite :scrutiny:.

If you've got a concealed carry license, you should be able to carry anywhere and everywhere.

If you allow people with valid permits to carry on airplanes, you can bet your last buck that terrorists will appear at the gate with valid permits. Maybe not real, but real enough.
The solution is to level the playing field: Replace those airphones that no one uses with police batons. Strength, then, lies in numbers.
