Many if not most pilots are ex-military. Having them carry a gun, and do it responsibly, is not a big stretch. The pilots union thinks its necessity. It is a common practice on El Al. I would imagine the fake ID issue could be addressed relatively easily. They'll need to do that regardless. Still I am pondering however........

The lack of a couple of guns and a hospitality way of doing business was deadly to 7 thousand people.
