Get Out Of The Way!

Capt. Tracy Price of the Airline Pilots' Security Alliance had this to say today on the issue of arming pilots.

"The concept of arming pilots with firearms to prevent or stop a hijacking is viewed by some as an extreme and intrusive measure, but we think they've got it exactly backwards," he continued. "The policy of sacrificing a civilian airliner with innocent Americans on board to keep terrorists from using it as a weapon – while at the same time refusing to allow the pilots an opportunity to offer a last resort, final line of defense – is the extremist view that should be ridiculed and dismissed."

To which I say we need more people like him and fewer anti-gun idiots.
