CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: We have breaking news to report to you right now about guns in the cockpit. Congress has been wrestling with that issue. In fact, it handed over the issue to the undersecretary of -- actually the Transportation Security Department. The undersecretary has now made the decision. He will not allow guns in the cockpits. He will not allow them.

But, still trying to decide whether to allow non-lethal weapons in the cockpit, including stun guns and Tasers. Of course, we will keep you posted, but the decision has been made from the government. No guns will be allowed in the cockpits.
