[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3175364, member: 5412"] Coming from CNN, an anti-gun source, they have brought out a small percentage of mishaps, with only a couple actually being in the aircraft. What really makes me question this report and its bias is the comment at the end. "John Mueller, a political science professor at Ohio State University who has assessed the efficiencies of various forms of aviation security, argues that the costs of air marshals outweigh their benefits. He recommends training and arming more pilots to resist hijackers and adding secondary cockpit barriers. Referring to air marshals, Mueller said, "They deliver about 5 cents or maybe 10 cents of benefit for every dollar that's spent on them. There are much less expensive security measures, which could replace them and save lots of money." I agree with training and arming pilots with the secondary measures to protect the crew, but who is going to protect the passengers in his scenario? It appears he is willing to sacrifice the passengers to preserve the safety of the crew. Air marshals fly with the passengers. [/QUOTE]
