Remember that War on Terror? Never mind!

This story is so American: we're scared shitless of terrorists (most of all in deep Red State backwaters no self-respecting terrorist would be caught dead in) and want assurances of security, but not if it means we have to wait a half hour extra to get on our airplanes! Or that we'd have to raise taxes on multimillionaires!

And mark my words: before too long, the An Armed Society is a Polite Society crowd will be pushing for people (other than pilots, whom our compliant Congress has already authorized to pack heat) to be allowed to carry concealed guns on airplanes.

It'll be fun to watch them go up against the guys carrying bows & arrows and ninja stars at 36,000 feet.
