Should the Barista at Starbucks in the Departure Hall get a gun as well?

Because from where I see it TSA Agents are in no way more involved or qualified to take down an attacker at a public place than any other bystander. It has gotten better but 70% of these people are complete Bozo's and shouldn't carry anything sharper than a pencil or they would do significant damage to themselves and others.
