Just to clear one thing up, I never said for a civillian to carry on a plane. I said a highly trained gov. officer. believe me when I say their are people w/ the skill to carry it off. I myself went through exstinsive training while w/ USMC Sec. Force Bat. Fast Co. for instence are a group that this time of handgun training. I also have trained at gunsite. It could be done. now I don't thinmk it will happen and agree airport sec. should be overly tightened.
