Many of my friends are pilots. One was stopped for nail clippers. He looked at the TSA agent and said, "I fly the plane.  The whole thing is mine."  

Heaven forbid a flight officer have a gun.

I had a brief career as an A&P mech back in the late 1970's, back then many of the old time pilots carried, I have no idea if it was legal or not but no one seemed to care.

This.

If that evil gun were not properly restrained, it would probably just "go off" and kill some innocent people - probably some young children.

I once worked there helping to install a large band screen for filtering water at Mohawk View WTP. Every time I went it was snowing and the numbnuts in Newark gave me a rear wheel drive car. Once I ended up in PA by driving the wrong way, lol. Before smart phones or GPS.

I worked for a regional airline in Seattle about 10 years ago. Brought my work clothes in a back pack everyday, never once did they search our stuff. We bypassed security and went through a door into the baggage area where it used our finger prints and a passcode.

Anyone could have smuggled anything at anytime if they wanted to. I could never understand that...

If you could ship stuff thru cargo, that does not even get checked. Weird how luggage will have microscopes looking at it, but cargo is just waved thru. No matter what level threat.

While I agree that it's a victimless crime, I can't help but think, "What was he thinking?"   One would think that an airline employee (especially a co-pilot) would be familiar with what the rules are for firearms on flights.

It's a voluntary program, but you have to go through the training.

It's a tsa/dhs program that is taught by the fams. Literally every single classroom and hands-on instructor is a fam. Fams run it and oversee it. When you complete the training you are sworn in by a fam. If you fuck up, it'll be a fam that comes to collect your creds and equipment.

I'd like to know that the pilot is able to properly handle the weapon before he is allowd to carry in the cockpit. 

Does anyone remember the FDO with the negligent discharge in the cockpit?  This was with a trained and vetted pilot...  You're telling is there shouldn't be oversight??

You're joking right??

Who do you think runs the FDO program?  The Federal Air Marshalls... an office that just so happens to be under TSA.

The Federal Air Marshal Service provides training of armed security officers required on approved flights associated with restoration of general aviation and charter flight operations at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).

For the life of me I've never understood why anyone would brag about being a ffdo. Personally, I've never seen a ffdo brag about it but maybe that's because I'm not the guy to brag to. However, I'd never put it past a pilot to brag about anything. FFDOs don't get paid to do it, training is only a week long, and the duties that go along with being an ffdo are incredibly simple. Conversely, being a pilot takes years of experience, pays more than any leo I've heard of, and offers privileges that far exceed anything a stupid badge can grant. How many leo jobs offer a six figure income in your second year on the job? How many leo jobs allow you to jumpseat around the world for free?

A pilot bragging about being a ffdo is as silly as a hedge fund manager bragging about knowing how to push a broom.
