Madam, - Is anyone actually taking this notion of armed marshals on aircraft seriously? Surely the presence of any weapon(s) on board a plane represents a threat, no matter who holds the gun(s)? Also, what is the point of having a gun on a plane, anyway? It cannot be used without endangering the lives of all the people on the aircraft. - Yours, etc.,
DECLAN CARTY, Milltown, Dublin 6.
