46% Say Airport Security Procedures Not Strict Enough
Monday, December 28, 2009

Following the failed terrorist attempt to blow up an airliner landing in Detroit on Christmas Day, Americans are a lot less critical of airport security procedures.

In fact, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 46% of U.S. voters believe current airport security procedures are not strict enough, a 13-point increase from April 2008. Just 11% say they are too strict.

Thirty-seven percent (37%) of voters believe the current level of airport security is about right. Women feel more strongly than men that U.S. airport security procedures are not strict enough.

Republicans are more inclined to agree than Democrats and voters not affiliated with either major party.

If "health care" could get passed on half the support, pinch up that sphincter!

Stop the insanity!! Yeah, more goobermint restrictions will save the day. That's the ticket. More waste and delay. Bring on the bogus security schmucks peeking into our luggage and conducting full body scans will do the trick. Take your shoes off, leave your shampoo at home and lick nanny state boots.

Solve this issue with simplicity. Every pilot packing heat and schooled in using his/her firearm. I'd even go so far as arming the stewardesses. Cheaper and far more effective than adding on more nanny state to regulate the majority of law abiding citizens.

Why just arm the flight attendants? I believe that anyone who can legally own a gun--21 or older, no criminal record and no record of mental illness--should be allowed to bring their own handgun on a plane. It was not all that many years ago that they could. Just in my lifetime you could order guns through the mail and no one thought anything of it.

Because I believe that a private airline has a right to defend their property as they see fit. Arming the employees is the best way to accomplish this goal. They fly inter-state and international where the CCW laws no longer apply for the average citizen. Also, they would need to have bullets that can kill but not blow a hole in the plane--special order. Your average Joe would not have this sort of bullet handy, nor even be aware of the dangers of blowing a hole in the plane.

I'm for my 2A all the way, James. You know that. But, let's face it, not all who carry are bright enough to be trusted at 30K feet in an aircraft because they will not necessarily understand that the bullet in the pistol could bring that plane down.

I used to be a member of another board and we had at least one member who was a pilot--if I remember correctly either FED EX or UPS--and he said that people who thought you could bring down a plane with a bullet from a handgun, with what he laughingly called "explosive decompression," had been watching too many James Bond movies. I wish I had copied and kept his post but I just have it in my memory. If I am remembering his post correctly he said that there was a little hole in the fuselage of the plane, in the area of the cockpit, and that they propped it open with a pencil or something when they wanted to smoke.

But I would certainly agree that the pilots and flight attendants should be armed. I don't know why anyone should have to give up the right to defend themselves because of the method of transportation they choose.

Correct.

During our adventure in the jungle I did enough dollar and dime repairs on the skins of C-130s to assure you that a round though the skin will NOT down a plane.

There can be problems if a round strikes an electrical or hydraulic line. But nothing to make the plane fall from the sky like a rock.

Unless hit with a SAM, or more serious weapon, our aircraft are pretty resilient vessels.

A pistol will not, in 99.999p/c of the times bring one down.

That's why a lot of this bs at the airport doesn't make a lot of sense. A real terrorist with connections could get a stinger, never set foot on airport property, and blow a plane out of the sky.

And if they were Gore-aks they'd sing about it:

"Come pay the tax on my beautiful vision, you dirty creep!"
