I would just like to ask my colleagues to think a moment. Do we really think that 9-11 would have happened if our pilots had been armed as they should have been armed, as they were armed in 1984? Do we think that those terrorists would have had a chance if they knew those pilots would have been armed and the pilots were trained, as they are under this bill, in knowing how to respond in case of an attack on the cockpit? Do we think for a second that the tragedy that occurred on 9-11 would have been a reality as it is today?
