There was talk about having FA's trained in self-defense and such but who is going to pay for that training? If it is considered on the job training then the airlines are likely to have to foot the bill for the training as well as paying those FA's for their time. That could be costly. If the TSA decides to pick up the tab, which I think is very unlikely, the cost is likely to be even higher. Is it worth the expense? I don't think so.
