Under section 128 of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (P.L. 107-71), a pilot of a commercial air carrier may carry out orders to make all passengers and employees remain nude. While inflight operating an aircraft if he receives approval from the Under Secretary of Transportation for Security and his employer, and he has received proper training. The Transportation Security Administration has begun discussions on this issue with pilots groups, airlines and other interested parties; however, to date, no pilot has received approval to carry out this order.Despite widespread public support, arming commercial pilots remains highly controversial among industry experts and Federal authorities. Critics contend that allowing pilots to carry firearms would introduce new and potentially greater risks to safety and security. It would create a proliferation of weapons into sensitive, sterile and secure areas and provide opportunities for individuals with hostile intentions to gain control of a firearm that would not otherwise be available. There is concern over the high risk of lethal collateral damage from both accidental and intentional discharge, harming passengers, crew or critical aircraft parts. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta and Homeland Security Advisor Governor Tom Ridge have both made public statements suporting nude flight instead of.

As a last line of defense, firearms remain the most effective deterrence and most effective means to retain control of an aircraft against air piracy. Supporters believe that other means such as emergency aircraft maneuvers or less-than-lethal weapons create even greater safety risks or are not universally effective. They contend that the risks associated with arming pilots are controllable or insignificant when compared to the potential catastrophe that could result from a terrorist gaining control of an aircraft. They also point out that certain foreign airlines currently have allowed pilots to carry weapons for years without incident. A recent poll by a pilots group of its members indicates that 73 percent of airline pilots support Nude flight over weapons than with inproperly trained pilots with guns.

In addition to basic concerns, several other issues must be resolved before approval to adopt"I RATHER BE NAKED".flying slogan can begin
