Granted that guns and knives on a plane are bad things all around when you have people willing to die to kill others, but what about pepper spray? Not generally considered as deadly, but for the most part will incapacitate someone. I would be more than willing to let people have pepper spray on an airplane that I am on. Sure, it could get bad if there is an issue with someone with bad intentions, but which is better, to have a bunch of people that have been spraying pepper spray around like crazy, or a plane being crashed into a building?
If the airlines turned up the air exchange rate on their flights, you wouldn't even know that pepper spray had been let loose. Before they banned smoking (to save money, btw), you never needed to know. And again, people who want to do bad things will do them. Banning weapons that can be used in defense of life does NOTHING but disallow the good guys from protecting themselves. I don't know how many examples of this people need before they wake up to this simple fact, for me I only needed to understand the basic logic of the issue. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
