For the ISS that doesn't sound like a good idea and sets
a bad precedent. Esp. if one of the international partners
decides to do the same...

Like WWI aerial observers, how long before someone starts toting
a side arm and then here we go again!

50/50 is what makes that notion impossible. Half public owned means
that policy and rules apply, unlike our kosher approved SEC whereas
anything goes as long as you're Jewish and support Republicans.

What is it about 9/11 that you think wasn't caused and/or allowed by
our government that never polices its own kind unless PR gets past the
point of no return?

At least at 50/50, one or the other might put a stop to whatever bad
ideas before it was too late. As it is, we're only allowed to know a
fraction of the whole truth, if that much.
