One of the takeaways from the shooting at the Los Angeles International Airport is that having armed responders nearby saved lives.
Now, the consideration of arming TSA agents is being floated.
I believe in armed law enforcement being in the area. Heck, in most situations I think it is a good idea to have law-abiding citizens nearby that are packing. Criminals don't like to be shot at. Good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns.
That said, when thinking about the TSA arming its agents, I am wondering if it is a good idea to give guns to people who frisk nuns and children as Muslim terrorists walk by their station without even a glance.
