This makes sense

The economy is in the tank but, what the hell, it's more of a priority to make sure pilots don't have guns on planes.
After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings.

Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology.

The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots.


So riddle me this Batman. How is it that we can entrust a multi ton incendiary device loaded with hundreds of innocent people to a guy who can't carry a gun on board to protect said incendiary device from evil doers?
