[QUOTE=Ultralight;1615308]Ok Clint Eastwood. The first thing I said, "only guys with prior military or law enforcement experience," is common sense, not ignorant.

The second thing I said, "Most of the guys I know who are FFDO's shouldn't be" is my business when the guy is so fixated on his firearm that he can't properly concentrate on his primary objective which is to fly the aircraft.

The whole FFDO program was a knee jerk reaction to 9/11 and is not an effective way to prevent terrorism. In fact, if I were trying to hijack an aircraft, I'd be looking for the one with a gun already on board which is in the possession of an amateur.


Military yes because there is a higher standard. Law enforcement.......yeah not so much. Also there are plenty of civilians that know how to shoot. I think Clint Eastwood is one of them.
