You are NOT hijacking this plane

In a bit of logic that only the government can defend, the Sexual assailants of TSA arrested Sun Country Airlines pilot Brian Andrew Machtemes of Minnetonka Minnesota for having a loaded firearm in his carry on.
Lets think about this for a moment. The purpose of the TSA is to prevent hijackings like splody dopes who failed bomb building are prone to attempt. The TSA is also a massive failure. While there have not been any more planes turned into projectiles, they have failed many tests to determine their ability to find various weapons.
That being said, a pilot armed and ready to protect his charges is probably the best thing in the air. Crazy with a gun? If a pilot decide to go postal, all he'd need to do is point his high speed craft at a chosen target and let velocity do the rest. With the application of autopilot, he could elect some form of distraction while the inevitable was happening.
Brian should be reinstated, and the idiots who arrested him escorted to a point a suitable distance, say 500 miles east, dropped off, and then told to walk home and consider the stupidity of their actions.
IN the mean time, I will continue traveling by car. I don't need a colonoscopy, nor do I want to receive the dental care offered by United even if I need some dentistry soon.
