Please, let's not go there ... <grin> Reissue those special air marshall pistols from when they used to carry pistols on planes and put a couple of undercover air marshalls on the plane. Anyway, I'm not sure what kind of "stun gun" they're talking about - stun guns that are tasers which shoot two metal darts attached by wire to a charge source or the stun guns which have two metal prongs permanently attached to the device which you have to stab at the attacker. In any event both, if accidentally contacted equipment in a cockpit, would cause massive contact currents to circulate across the equipment. I don't think cockpit equipment is put through that much immunity testing.
