And the hijackers all rejoiced…

No guns in the cockpits:

Undersecretary of Transportation Security John Magaw said today he would not allow commercial airline pilots to carry guns in the cockpit, a move that’s been considered for months as a potential defense against September 11-style hijackings. The government has yet to weigh in on non-lethal weapons like stun-guns and Tasers.

To be fair, Magaw has also decided “hijacking is not allowed,” and that potential hijackers “aren’t allowed to bring weapons of any kind on airplanes.”
