DEBATE OVER ARMING PILOTS IS OVER
Pilots Support House and Senate Bills to Begin Training Program
(Removed for privacy and identification)....praised members of the House and Senate for their
recognition of the need to arm America's pilots with lethal
weapons through the bi-partisan legislation.
The Arming Pilots Against Terrorism Act (H.R. 4635) in the House,
sponsored by Congressman John Mica (R-FL) and Congressman Don
Young (R-AK), who head the Aviation Subcommittee and the
Transportation Committee respectively, was marked-up in the
Aviation Subcommittee yesterday and will be brought to the House
floor within weeks.
In the Senate, the Arming Pilots Against Terrorism and Cabin
Defense of 2002 (S.2554.IS), a much stronger bill sponsored by
Senator Bob Smith (R-NH), Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) and Senator
Zell Miller (D-GA) will possibly be introduced this week as an
Amendment.
Both bills mandate an armed pilot training program be implemented.
An email recieved today, any opinions or discussion?
