Yep. On the one hand my choice as a passenger is to fly with an unarmed crew, and risk being obliterated in a hijacking as the plane is plowed into some building; on the other hand, I have the choice of potentially getting injured by a stray bullet fired by the armed crew as they avert an attempted hijacking. I'll take my chances with the bullet. I think the cockpit crew should have automatic weapons at their disposal, not just handguns; and the flight attendents should have access to the strongest stun guns on the market...
