If Joe Smith really wants to carry a gun on board and really wants to fly
without marshals, let him charter a puddlejumper.

Strangely enough I think you are going to see a big increase in people doing
just that. The airlines were already losing a lot of business class
passengers to fractional jets (great for me as I got to sit up there free
more often, but bad for their bottom line) before this. Now execs are going
to be saying "If i charter, I know exactly who all my copassengers are. No
risk there". (but forgetting that maybe a subordinate may well want to toss
them out the door at 5k feet...)

Actually according the the AJC this is already happening:

(...) But, But... if Joe Smith decided not to pay, he isn't going to be flying. At least not with me, anyway. I certainly will not choose an airline that won't take the maximum steps to ensure my safety. I plan to quiz NWA quite closely about that. (...) (23 years ago, 21-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
