But it was the revelation that the supervisor of the unit instructed officers to carry a toy gun just in case they found themselves “in a jam” and needed to plant one.

This is a really poor characterization of the F-35 program. It is not intended to replace the F-22, it’s intended to augment the F-22. It’s primarily a replacement for the F-16 in the Air Force, and older F/A-18s in the Navy.

If you think this is crazy, wait until I tell you what Fox *News* has completely ignored

Funny, it’s older farts like me that frequently bemoan the state of air travel because we can remember how much better it used to be before the deregulation era started. Mind you, though the actual flights are much worse than for example my trips to Hawaii on Wardair back in the 80's, it’s the demeaning “security…
