By George you might have something there Doug.
Four (4) hours is not long to go without a drink.
Perhaps something like that should be looked at.

I seem to remember facing the cargo on a old C5 Galaxy. Horrible not to be able to jump out of the way because you didn't see it coming.I've flown on many military transports as Navy brat and as a serviceman. The only one I ever flew on that had rear facing seats was a Greyhound off the Nimitz. Oh, and a few times on an SH3 which had side seats.
For one thing, you're not dealing with someone who has a 'level' head (it may or may not be after the gun goes off). If a security agent carries one, it needs be a requirement that it's accompanied by necessary training. Then you have unforseen problems like hitting turbulence while the finger is on the trigger. Yes? No? It's all kind left up in the air. We need a nonchalant, whistling'smiley' in our reply menu.As for guns on aircraft when dealing with drunks, I think that would be a mistake. Both because a drunk (depending on his level of inebriation) has no fear, and the off hand chance the gun carrier might not be experienced enough to deal the given situation with a level head... ...Situations can get out of hand quickly.
Yes, but who gets into the headlines so that all the rest of us gets stereotyped?We Americans seem to be stereo-typed as shoot first and ask questions later. I totally disagree. It's just me and a couple'a guys named Bubba from Arkansas.
I so note your points and respect them.
