#1 And by the way, whatever happened to the plan of arming flight crews?

#2 Flight crews wouldn't know which end of the pistol to point.

#4 Arming ANYBODY would be a bad idea, planes don't fly well with holes punched in them.

#5 They fly just fine with SMALL bullet sized holes punched in them. It's the bomb sized holes that bring down a plane.

#6 For several years in the middle of this decade Delta had a course in unarmed fighting for airline stewards/stewardesses, designed and led by one of the senior blackbelts from the Tae Kwan Do school Mr. Wife and the trailing daughters attend. They focussed on techniques for use in airplane aisles. I understand it was quite popular. Cincinnati is (or perhaps was, things change so rapidly) one of Delta's international hubs since the early 1990s, so one can understand the staff's interest.
