This paranoia is in line with the British mentality that stops them from arming most of their police officers IMO.

Paranoia is a bit strong, but yes I do admit to having the 'mentality' that guns are a bad thing. I'm very happy to have a police force where the majority don't wander around looking like extras from a Rambo movie. But gun control is a bit off topic for here really.

Given the increased cockpit security, it just seems over the top...assuming there isn't something we don't know going on.
