- krapp 13y agoThat's valid, but there are already armed guards and officers in airports. An argument could be made that more guns would be overkill (pun unintended) but I don't know that it would necessarily increase the intimidation factor significantly, would it?
- betterunix 13y agoWell it depends on a few things. Are the guards standing at the checkpoints, or just wandering around on patrol? Are they armed with handguns or assault rifles? For what it's worth, I did not notice a police presence or armed guards the last time I flew out of LGA (a week ago).
