I just thought of something. It may sound crude and rude but think about it. What I read in your message below is that pilots are too stupid to be able to keep a gun from being stolen. Are military pilots law enforcement officers? They carry weapons. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - there best line of defense against the terrorists is allowing pilots to carry weapons, like they did in the earlier (i.e. non-gun paranoid) days of aviation. READ, with an open mind, http://www.secure-skies.org/ - a site created and operated by airline pilots.
