I still think it was Mineta's decision The fellow who published the decision: John Magaw c.v. *B.S. in education from Otterbein College (?) *1959 Trooper with Ohio State Police, *Joined U.S. Secret Service in 1967, various protective unit positions, ultimately becoming Director of Secret Service *1993 Director of BATF shortly after Waco debacle *Acting Executive Director of the Office of National Preparedness within the Federal Emergency Management Agency. *Acting Executive Director of FEMA *Thence to his current position of toadyism. Bush has no political reason to over-ride the decision. If he did, for example, order Mineta to allow arming pilots, Mineta would resign and the Democrats would go nuts. On the other hand, bills are working their way through Congress to MANDATE the Sec of Transportation to allow guns in cockpits. So it's possible for guns to appear without Bush having to use any political capital.
