Minor incidents? People would be letting their kids play with them and shoot other kids/people with them, police would have to meet every plane landing to arrest people for tasering the people behind them kicking their seat.
BTW if you let all passengers have them, you'd be arming terrorists, sooner or later - all they have to do is use it on a pilot going to the bathroom, if they are ready to die they don't need anyone to land the plane.
- Gravityloss 11y agoYou would have to have a taser license perhaps, and you'd get a discount when flying. Especially if there's a shortage of security people on a particular flight. Airports could have 20 minute courses while you're waiting for your delayed flight anyway. This is normal par for the course, one would just sell it as normal crowd sourcing / uberizing of cabin security. ;)
- hueving 11y agoHave you seen a pilot go to the bathroom? On us flights the flight attendants set up a barricade using a drink cart before the pilot comes out so you can't even get close to the bathroom without a major commotion.
- dawnbreez 11y agoThe parent comment's point is that the terrorists would be outnumbered. Incidentally, one of the planes involved in the 9/11 attack--the one meant to hit the White House, IIRC--was grounded by unarmed passengers who overwhelmed the terrorists who hijacked the plane.
