"DENVER - A *** belonging to the pilot of a US Airways plane went off as the aircraft was on approach to land in North Carolina over the weekend, the first time a weapon issued under a federal program to arm pilots was fired, authorities said."
" The TSA has never been real supportive of this program," said Mike Boyd, who runs the Colorado-based aviation consulting firm The Boyd Group. "It's something I think Congress kind of put on them."
"If that bullet had compromised the shell of the airplane, i.e., gone through a window, the airplane could have gone down," he said
So the 1st and only time ever a *** is discharged by an armed pilot coming after 9/11 is an accident that had the potential to bring down the plane.What a great idea ,guns on a pressureized airliner
