I've posted this idea in the past but here goes again.
Let the CCW have the option of taking it upon him/herself to undergo training in "Ops" on an aircraft and thereby achieve qualification to do so. Then I'd seat several of those individuals just behind the cockpit door so any person trying to approach and gain access to the cockpit would have to make it through them. They could make the bulkhead between first class and coach bullet resistant. Then, if there were enough to go around, some others can be scattered about the cabin. People need to come around to the fact that the civilian is the answer to the terrorist problem. The police etc simply can't be everywhere.
If the CCW prefers NOT to undergo such training then their firearm resides in the cargo hold during the flight.
As far as myself or anyone else giving up their weapon to save a hostage. Those days are over unfortunately and I, for one, regret, no RESENT, having to think this way.
