Two Questions

Two questions were bothering me most of yesterday. First - how come pilots still don't have the right to carry firearms in the cockpit? Weren't we supposed to learn lessons from 9/11? Now the right for a pilot to carry a pistol is being bogged down for political purposes.

Second - what's up with Saddam Hussein? He's completely dropped off the radar since his capture. Am I the only one that finds this strange? It's not like I need to see footage of him in an organge jumpsuit (although that would be nice) - it's just that capturing him was such big news and now he seems as forgotten as Danny Bonnaduce.
