Good news, lets hope this is the correct story.

It's just another dot for us to connect after the next terrorist attack.

Haven't you heard? They are not terrorist attacks. They are "man made disasters". Or so says the Department of Homeland Security.

... I almost forgot about the nitwit who said that...

So what are we to do now...throw our crew meals at the 7500-terrorist? Keep the crash axe near our flight bag? We can't comment because someone might get their PC feelings hurt. We are going back in time. History will repeat because some have forgotten and buried history. Wait until the terrorists get hold of this news. Why don't they just take my nads while they're at it? Stupid sheeple.

Amen! More are going to have to die, unfortunately. Maybe we will remember longer than a few years the next time it happens.

I can't believe removing the program is even on the table. You're right, it seems like the world has forgotten. Instead of removing the program the budget should be increased and FFDO's treated like real LEO's.

BTW, my politically incorrect post was removed earlier... I guess the APC mods are Obama fans.

How is that comment political?

APC should allow respectful dissent on any topic. I understand this is a site for aviation related topics, but when an aviation related topic like this comes up; all opinions, as long as, respectful should be permitted. Lighten up APC monitors or you'll risk looking like you are choosing sides in political discussions; which in itself is being outwardly political. Stiffling speech isn't what this site should be about as long as it is done with respect. I'm out!

Really, is that a serious question?

The cancellation of the FFDO program has the undertones of anti-gun agenda, there have been nothing but positive reviews of the program and the TSA/FAM's are strongly behind the program. Even with the few buffoonerous acts of a few FFDO's, the program is still much less plagued by buffonerous acts when compared to other LEO fields. FFDO coverage of total flights is magnitudes above other federal LEO coverage and the cost is literally pennies on the dollar.

The cancellation of brass sales has undertones of an anti-gun agenda in ultimately raising ammunition prices.

Note: they both seem to be part of an anti-gun agenda.

There was a famous quote during the campaign by an individual (in an attempt to dissuade 2nd amendment concerns) that "Obama is not going to take my shotguns".
