I agree with Brian for the most part as well.
Now I agree that some things have no place on an airplane, I also think that if the airline industry had taken the separation of the pilots from the passengers into account when trying to come up with ways to deal with Hijackings long ago, we would probably have been much better off on 9/11.
Lots of things went wrong that day.
Granted that guns and knives on a plane are bad things all around when you have people willing to die to kill others, but what about pepper spray? Not generally considered as deadly, but for the most part will incapacitate someone. I would be more than willing to let people have pepper spray on an airplane that I am on. Sure, it could get bad if there is an issue with someone with bad intentions, but which is better, to have a bunch of people that have been spraying pepper spray around like crazy, or a plane being crashed into a building?
Again, my personal concern with pepper spray would be collateral damage - you probably couldn't hit _only_ the bad guy, you'd get most of the people around him, as well, and probably yourself as well.
Now I go to put on my Flame retardant suit! :p
