This story, courtesy of the Washington Post, should make you feel safer. It certainly made me feel safer. The monkeys really are running the zoo:
People soon will be able to carry guns and other dangerous weapons onto the grounds and parking lots of Reagan National and Dulles International airports, after officials yesterday eased what they said were overly restrictive rules….
Gun rights groups said the rules at area airports are still too restrictive. Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizens' Defense League, said Dulles and National airports should have to follow state law. He also said people should be able to carry their guns into the terminals.
"The point is, terrorists will not pay any attention to this," he said. "What it will do is stop the people who don't want to break the law." …
Airport security experts said the new law doesn't worry them. Douglas R. Baird, an aviation security consultant, said, "It doesn't raise any concerns with me because if you have the authority of the state to be armed, I don't see why you can't be armed at an airport."
Yeah. No potential problems there that I can see. Anyone?
