Are pilots from the cargo carriers allowed to be in the FFDO program?

We allowed to bash the Washington Times? Pretty shabby reporting from the Rev. Moon's outfit. It didn't take too long for this article to be debunked. Still didn't stop a few guys for going off half cocked about losing thier guns and the FFDO program itself.

Which is kind of funny. Diverting funds for supervisory staff for the program is hardly shutting the program down.

Trust me my friend, ALPA and the TSA have a very firm grip on the situation! No worries!

not to get too political about it, but the things that they are mentioning began when there was another guy in the white house.

Like I said, it's funny. :D (No really, it is.)

Or wait. Maybe it's sad. :(

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.

Pure knee-jerk reaction paranoia.

Why would a cargo pilot want to be an FFDO? Yeah yeah, I know....jumpseaters, couriers etc. However, they're a very minimal risk. I believe the answer is that they like the badge and gun and it is not for any noble reasons.
