House Passes Bill to Allow Airline Pilots to Carry Guns. A similar proposal is gaining support in the Senate, making it likely that Congress will try to overrule an administration decision that pilots should not be armed. By Matthew L. Wald. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]

I'm all for Pilots carrying Tasers. But guns in planes give me the spookies. (And I think United??? is training (some) of their pilots on the use of Tasers)
