As to guns in the cockpit, they were there long before the FFDO program, prior to PSA 1771. I was “retired” before the flight crews were required to clear security, but prior to that I knew plenty of pilots (mostly WW2 through Vietnam era guys) who carried handguns in their flight bags despite the regs. It was kind of a “Don’t ask; don’t tell” policy.
