Eric Raymond (Open Source advocate, science fiction fan, liberatarian, gun nut) weighs in on the tragedy, with a note that starts well enough, ends well enough, but in the middle contains an argument for arming airline passengers so they can defend themselves against terrorists.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
