If it had been policy for everyone to have had a gun on those planes, terrorists wouldn't have even targeted them as a means to their end.

oh, that is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. I can just imagine all flights being full of armed passengers. You'd have a plane a day going down because one of the passengers got pissed off because his rubber chicken was cold and decided to squeeze off a few to get the flight attendant's attention.
While I am much less anti-gun than I used to be, I still do not trust most people to be armed. They just don't have the ability to control themselves. Just look at some of the things people do with their cars while driving. They've already got a 3K lb projectile that they will gladly point at any pedestrian, motorcycle, or other car that gets in their way. Now they should have guns while traveling?
