I wouldn't directly call suicidal terrorists 'responsible people', yet
they would be able to get firearms on those planes as well.

Fire your gun at a few windows and see how many people survive the
decompression. Of course you get shot very fast after that, but I didn't
see any last mminute parachutes on the CNN footage either today.

True.
IMHO introducing more firearms in airplanes is not unlike Mutual Assured
Destruction. However, when the concept of MAD was used during the Cold
War people sitting close to the red button were required to undergo
psychological testing. Introducing the concept of MAD in an airplane
without having people undergo psychological testing is MADness.
