Washington D.C. – Senator Jim Bunning and California Senator Barbara Boxer are expected to introduce legislation that would allow cargo pilots to carry arms. Although such pilots were originally included in the Federal Flight Deck Officer program passed by the Senate and House last year, the final version included in the Homeland Security Act removed them. This legislation, the "Arming cargo Pilots Against Terrorism Act", is expected to address that change.
