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. Bob Wilson, London. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Listen to your Yahoo!
