Small correction: Glock is a manufacturer (in Georgia) of handguns. They
make handguns in the following calibers: 9mm, 10mm, .357, .380, .40, and
.45. Glocks don't have clips, they have magazines. The magazines may hold up
to 30 or more rounds (of course a magazine that large extends somewhat from
the handle of the pistol) but, nowdays, can only be sold holding ten rounds
or less (thanks to the Brady law).

Light loads are unnecessary as far as puncturing the fuselage of the plane.
It doesn't matter if the plane has holes in it.

I agree. Further, a little known regulation: If you see what, to you, is a
suspicious person waiting to board your plane, you can bring your concern to
the airline and that person will be denied boarding.

1. Given enough time (30 minutes?) a dobad can hack or ram his way through
any cabin door implemented so far.
2. What's an ordinary pilot going to do when the dobads start killing one
passenger every five minutes until the cabin door is opened?
