Political Quotes

“I like the idea of possibly studying a taser weapon or futuristic weapon like what we see in movies, but I personally want that pilot to have a lethal weapon on board. If I had a terrorist trying to take my ship, I want to have a lethal weapon in my hand. I want to make sure that person does not even have a chance. With a taser, he has a chance. I have some experience with those types of weapons, and if a person was a true terrorist, he would wear protective armament and would need to be struck in the head. Until that time, he would be able to circumvent a taser. A taser does not immobilize a person immediately. A lethal weapon would. Properly trained, that terrorist will be eliminated and my ship will be protected and my passengers will arrive safely. This is a small step forward. We are not sure, and neither are the terrorists sure, which pilots will be armed. I believe that is a deterrent in itself. I believe there will be some hesitancy on that airplane.”
