I don't think the prohibition on guns on airliners is due to
DiFi--it long predates her entrance into politics. As a matter
of law and regulation, it probably goes back to the early days of
air travel. (Guns and pressurized cabins at high altitude are an
explosive mixture--literally.) As a matter of enforcement, it
goes back to the "Havaanaa" hijacking days of the 60s, when the
ever-present security checkpoints were first set up. (Yes,
Virginia, we used to be able to get onto an airplane without
being searched or scanned.)
However, we did have armed Sky Marshalls traveling the
airlines at that time. I wonder what happened to them?
