Twitter trolling, should it be punishable?

But if they're just going to be locked away for the whole flight, what's the point in having them for safety in the first place?

Someone said earlier that it's more dangerous to have guns on planes that to not and I agree with them really.

As pilots would have access to it in an emergency such as a bunch of terrorists sitting outside the cockpit door?

Shot to death??

Yup.

[LiquidLuck.]

Yup.

Isn't that like WAY too much?! Can't you only shoot someone if they are about to shoot you back?! Omg wtf really..
@scottish; if that happened, I hope the pilots didn't open the cockpit because if they did, then it could get a lot worst! Actually does the cockpit lock? Because if it does that's how it should always be..

[scottish]

It does lock, but afaik the flight crew have access to it (might need to be buzzed in, idk)

Well then if there are terrorists right outside of the door, the door should not be opened by anyone or the risk of the whole flight getting in the hands of the terrorists would only increase, even if the pilots had guns.

Flight crew need to be granted access for meals, refreshments etc, but can only be let in by the pilot I think? Although that sounds wrong, because I'm sure I read something about a flight attendant trying to fly a plane once when the pilots were unconscious...

Well i've never been on a plane when it's hijacked, but if the door is opened I assume it's to ensure the safety of the passengers rather than hey come in this is the cockpit let me give you a guide

If they have weapons or something on board then they can do a lot of damage especially if it's at like 35k ft.

Exactly so if it's impossible to bring guns on board, lets not give guns to pilots either, lets just not have them at all in the plane and it'll be much safer.

But what if they do get it past security?

If they removed flight marshals from planes I'm all for pilots having access to firearms (if they don't already?)

Thing is, they never will get past security!

In this case there isn't even the exception to the rule. The security is super tighten, nothing will ever happen. I've been flying quite a lot since I moved to Scotland and not only Edinburgh-Lisbon, I've been to like 5 airports since I moved here, and in every single one of them, there is no way a gun would not be detected. X-ray of bags, checking if you beep in those beepy things.. One time they asked me to open my bag because it was too full and could not see everything properly. They have also asked me to take off my timberland boots and some of them were talking about a lady's bad that had an object that looked like a gun and then it was just a beauty product or whatever. Unless they create an object in like paper or plastic, that can go unnoticed glued to your skin and actually manages to hurt people, there is no way something like that will happen.
