 ...and it's a very interesting opinion.  Tell me, who
would be responsible for deciding which passengers
could carry guns and which couldn't? and who would
enforce that decision?  and what happens if that
responsible body make a mistake and you end up with
terrorists on a plane with guns?

I actually don't think terrorists would succeed so
easily again with knives, now that the traveling
public have the knowledge of what went before, I think
they could be possibly overpowered but not, of course,
if they are in possession of guns.  At least the
passengers have a chance against knives.
