If so called "airport security" hadn't disarmed most of the passengers & crew on those flights, things might have turned out a lot less tragically on 9/11. The government solution... more of the same failed policies. The TSA was invented to grope passengers, the DHS to spy on everyone and make us less free, the patriot act, and now NDAA where they can just disappear people with no trial or due process of law. So called "first responders" often take 20 minutes or more to get there. Joe or Jane Sixpack citizen carrying a gun is a better bet to deal with psycho's before they rack up a large body count. Because they're actually THERE where they can do some good. IMO End the gun-free killing zones.
