When's the last time a potential hijacker got a gun aboard a US commercial flight??
Sweet. You respond to a hypothetical that includes guns on board an airliner, and when I respond to your reply, you claim "protection" from my sarcasm because it was the hypothetical, not reality, that you were responding to. So I continue with the hypothetical and now only reality is worthy of your continuing the discourse with honest answers. Interesting. Obfuscate much?
Don't like it? Don't fly. It's your option. Nobody is forcing you to put your gun down. They're just telling you to pick one or the other.
"They" didn't have to *tell* me anything. I would swim to Alaska before I'd fly to vacation there. Or Hawaii or wherever. Fortunately for me, there's plenty of my preferences for vacation spots in the contiguous 48. I would no more submit to illegal searches or unopposed sexual assaults than I would submit to a knock on the door with a voice on the other side saying, "Hi! It's your friendly government official. We're here to confiscate your guns. Open the door please."
Do you fly much B2Tall? If you're married, does your wife fly much? If the answer to either of those questions is "Yes," how safe does it make you feel when either or both of you are subjected to being groped, or being forced to have naked pictures of you taken, or having your friggin' fingernail clippers stolen and sold on eBay?
Yay TSA, if you're into that kind of thing. I'm not.
