Martial arts are good (I did TaeKwanDo myself) but it is hard to beat a
good blaster at your side when you want to "reach out and touch
someone." (This reminds me of that scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark"
where Indiana Jones is confronted by a scimitar-wielding martial-arts
expert and he dispatches his adversary with his revolver.)
Brian, did I hear you wrong? - That's what FFDOs are trained to do. We
carry and use guns in the cockpit when appropriate. Thank you for the
lessons in nuclear waste. Knowledge is good.

Ah, good. I misunderstood. I thought you were implying that you planned
to kick-ass on the bad guys with your own two hands (and feet).
I like my clunky old 1911A1 but it is a bit large for concealed carry.
OTOH, you can just keep it in your flight bag and then just carry at the
ready in case you have to go aft.
What do they have you using to prevent overpenetration? I use hydra
shock but was thinking that a very high velocity frangible plastic
bullet would be good in the cabin of an aircraft.

Gonna renege, eh? Well, in that case, yes, you *do* owe me a steak
dinner right now. Here is a good article from that bastion of liberal
nuclear power haters, PBS:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/reaction/readings/french.html
In there it says:
"French technocrats had never thought that the waste issue would be much
of a problem. From the beginning the French had been recycling their
nuclear waste, reclaiming the plutonium and unused uranium and
fabricating new fuel elements. This not only gave energy, it reduced the
volume and longevity of French radioactive waste. The volume of the
ultimate high-level waste was indeed very small: the contribution of a
family of four using electricity for 20 years is a glass cylinder the
size of a cigarette lighter. It was assumed that this high-level waste
would be buried in underground geological storage and in the 80s French
engineers began digging exploratory holes in France's rural regions."
So, yup, there is a nuclear power program that recycles the nuclear
waste into new fuel to power their reactors today. Now.
So ... <drum roll please>
Where are you taking me for our steak dinner date? Hmm?
OK, guys, you heard her. Support me on this.

Oh yeah, I will. I have to collect on that steak dinner. Mmmm, onion
rings, baked potato, Caesar salad, maybe broccoli with cheese sauce, and
a big old hot-fudge sundae for dessert.

Brian,
At the risk of sounding like a bad spy movie... I can't tell ya any more about the specifics of FFDO operations including our ballistics or I'd hafta kill ya. Actually, I'd probably end up on charges. All that I can say is that the whole thing is very well monitored and thought out. The only reason I said anything about having been one is that I am now retired.
I can hear the other Yak Listers desperately banging on their delete buttons and screaming "Oh Lord please make it stop and just get back to sharing pertinant Yak info!!!!"
For their sakes I'll try to find time for more friendly verbal sparring with you via email. I do have, of course, an article re: nuclear waste disposal contradicting yours. (Heh, heh).
The CJ6 that I was so close to purchasing some months ago had issues that I was not willing to deal with, so I am currently going to Tennissee to look at another that seems to be a very nice one.
Wish me luck - Val
