Although I am no Hillary fan, if she carries a firearm for her own protection and forgets she has it in her purse, I can not foresee her suddenly remembering inflight that she has it and deciding to hijack the plane.
True enough. And even though Hillary scares me, I'm reasonably confident that she wouldn't get roaring drunk in flight and do something she'd later regret. I can't say I have that degree of confidence in everybody who might qualify for the "exempt list" as originally presented. Or in the guy sitting next to them.
