I just got this from a friend who is from Texas:

Reminds me. There was a nice thing on the radio here at the moment. The
US is trying to force European airliners flying into the USA to carry
armed sky marshalls. Most pilots don't want them - they argue that if
there's any danger on a flight it shouldnt take off.

One doctor rang in to the BBC "Today" programme to suggest the answer.

*Every* passanger boarding every flight should be issued with a
firearm, which they would have to carry throughout the flight.

This principal, which has kept violent crime so low in the US, and
especially low in Texas, should work equally well on airliners.
