Twitter trolling, should it be punishable?

I have a question. How many guns have actually been taken on board after all these post 9/11 laws?

Because if pilots have guns, then it makes it so much easier for someone else to get hold of those guns..

About the thread topic itself, she was not ''trolling'', she was harassing.. Due to the fact that she is 14, so a minor, they MAYBE took it a little bit to far, but a good investigation so she can still fear the consequences of her stupidity wouldn't warm anyone.

How?

They're in a locked cockpit which only flight crew can access, you can't just randomly walk into the flight pit and ask for their gun..

I don't know if they are even armed, but aren't there flight marshals on most flights now? or did I take too much out of Non-Stop movie

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.

There's rarely any air marshalls on flights from the UK. I think it's a US thing.

On 9/11, the USA had 33 air marshalls, in August 2013, it stands at 4,000, by 2019 it will stand at 1,200, and by 2024 it will be just 500, so they're phasing it out.

where are you getting this info from

Also, in the US, air marshalls lead to 4.2 arrests per year, meaning at the cost of the current program, it costs about $200 million per arrest. Probably why it's been phased out.

Yes and if there is ever a need to use the guns and the pilot comes outside with it, I'm sure someone would find a distraction to manage to take the gun away from him. And again this comes back to my question.

How many guns have been taken on board ever since all the post 9/11 security measures??

If the answer is none then why was the need of guns in the cockpit even analyzed? S:

And do you know what are the arrests for?

Seems the numbers in 2019/2024 aren't reliable, my bad. But offices around the country are being scrapped.

From what I've read, the air marshals in the US have only opened fire once on a plane, and that was when it was on the ground boarding, not during flight. I can't find any examples of air marshals needing to open fire during a flight.

Do you not have the reason why though?

They opened fire in this particular incident because the guy had a row with his wife, so he wanted to abandon the flight. The flight attendant said he couldn't leave, so he said he had a bomb. He was shot 11 times when he was on the boarding bridge after exiting the plane. The guy suffered from a mental illness, and apparently the flight marshall knew this beforehand.
