FFDO, Thing of the Past ?
I guess the program doesn't cost enough. Better to turn over all the security to the well trained and highly educated masses at TSA.

Consider this evidence that the Obama Administration would be more happy to rely on intrusive screening procedures being applied to toddlers, the elderly, and Senators, rather than pilots with guns to provide a last line of defense to aviation terrorism.
If those of use who served, had high level clearances, flew for years prior to 9/11, still fly today, and have never had anything more than a speeding ticket get screened, those boys and girls whose only credentials are a majority of votes sure as heck-fire better be checked!
If those elected officials get any more equal than the rest of us, it will be time to take up arms.

Good riddance to the FFDO program. All it ever did was allow a bunch of John Wayne wannabes the authority to carry guns and bypass security. Now that the KCM program is in place, even that perk is gone.
The FFDO program did not stop even ONE inflight disturbance. A total waste of time. We're very fortunate only ONE aircraft was damaged by "friendly fire" from the CA seat and that the no innocent crewmembers were injured.

The idiot who shot a hole in his airbus violated 3 SOP's to do it. Many soldiers are idiots. Many cops are idiots. Many pilots are idiots. So what? It is still a good program. Personnally, I'd like John Wayne in my cockpit in another hijacking attempt.
