US commercial pilots have stated that few of their colleagues are signing up to the programme to carry guns in the cockpit because participation in the scheme is too hard.
The Airline Pilots Security Alliance - a group formed by pilots to lobby for guns in the cockpit - claims that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has imposed unnecessary standards, which include a 14-page psychological evaluation.
However, the TSA has said the testing is necessary to ensure safety, reported The Associated Press.
