This is why:
“The accidental discharge of a passenger’s weapon in a security area of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport caused widespread panic Saturday afternoon, prompting a brief halt of departing flights over the busy travel weekend,” CNN reported on November 20, 2021 (read story here).
With all the dumbest and most deranged people in the country now packing heat everywhere, with the Supreme Court poised to remove the last remaining restrictions on morons carrying guns, and with record numbers of loaded guns turning up in carry-on baggage at airports (see story here), we should anticipate in-flight shootouts in airplane cabins as people fight over masks, vaccine cards, seats, overhead baggage bins, spilled drinks, lowered seatbacks, crowded foot space, or whatever. Assuming you can get on a plane in the first place.
Until I win the lottery and can afford my own private airplane, I think I’ll just drive.
