        @USATODAY @USATOpinion Would have to train all off the TSA officers to shoot like police. Huge learning curve and enpense. Better w/police

        @USATODAY @USATOpinion how about eliminating the TSA. I think the majority of people would favor that.

        @USATODAY @USATOpinion I always assumed TSA agents were armed. It is very surprising to me that they are not.

        @USATODAY I still think it's a bad idea. More airport disagreements will become shoot outs #tellusatoday kinda like putting guns in schools.

        @USATODAY @USATOpinion #tellusatoday For window dressing at best. Need to catch this upstream. Profiling and technology including NSA.

        @USATODAY @USATOpinion Can't prevent everything. Armed guards seems to be exaggerated response to isolated incident.

        @USATODAY @USATOpinion I have no problem with armed security. Good guys w/ guns stop bad guys w/ guns. Also make places less likely targets.
