House Approves Bill to Arm Pilots:

“The bill was passed after months of aggressive lobbying by pilot unions, which said their members want to carry guns because loopholes remain in airport security.

…The Bush administration opposed the bill, which was approved 310 to 113. A similar bill has stalled in the Senate, but supporters said yesterday that they hoped to build on the unexpectedly strong support for the House bill.” Washington Post

IMHO, quite a bad idea, as I’ve written about previously, for a number of reasons. Evidence people are still reacting to 9-11 with their testosterone instead of their heads.
