British Pilot's Union - Guns Scare Us

Seems that skymarshals scare the Limey Flyboys more than terrorists.

"We cannot agree with the government's decision to put armed guards on aircraft, as we believe this will do more harm than good," the pilots' union's general secretary, Jim McAuslan, said. "We do not want guns on planes."

Yep... it's those evil, corrupting guns that are the danger. The deterrent of trained, armed agents on their aircraft frighten these guys more than suicidal fanatics.

Tom Ridge -- This is an easy one. Follow through on your plan and deny our airspace to any carrier that does not follow our safet mandates. It's as simple as that.
