Abstract
The paper looks at the different approaches manifest in both documents when it comes to prescribing the public administrator's accountability. The paper explains that the most obvious thing that separates the two laws is that one reads precisely as a code of ethics is supposed to read - whilst the other one reads like a constitutional document that drily sets out obligations and duties and sets down appropriate protocols and procedures. The paper also notes a major difference that is how the New York State Public Officer's Law seems to be an aggregation of different laws which were penned over a period of time. The paper concludes that ASPA is a genuine Code of Ethics whereas the New York State Public Officer's Law is a fully-fledged legal document that is only enjoyable reading for lawyers.

From the Paper
"The following paper will briefly compare the ASPA Code of Ethics with the New York State Public Officer's Law. In particular, the ensuing several pages will look at the different approaches manifest in both documents when it comes to prescribing public administrator's accountability. The most obvious thing that separates the two laws is that one reads precisely as a code of ethics is supposed to read - whilst the other one reads like a constitutional document that drily sets out obligations and duties and sets down appropriate protocols and procedures.

Abstract
Since the horrific events of September 11, 2001, there has been a great deal of debate on whether or not airline pilots should be armed in the cockpit. With the U.S. waging a global war on terrorism, it may be possible that terrorists will retaliate against the U.S., and they may use airliners again. This paper argues in favor of allowing airline pilots to be armed in the cockpit. This paper covers both sides of the argument and presents unbiased views, as well. Quotes from U.S. Congressmen also included in the paper.

From the Paper
"Another argument in favor of arming pilots is that they are, psychologically, among the most highly trained and level-headed professionals in the world. They are accustomed to making critical "and sometimes life-saving" decisions in a split second, so arming them would make sense, according to the APSA. In addition, Senator Zell Miller (D-Ga.) strongly supports passing an amendment in favor of pilots carrying guns. Senator Miller believes it is logical to allow pilots to be armed. Senator Miller stated, "Will someone please explain to me the logic that says we can trust someone with a Boeing 747 in bad weather, but not with a Glock 9 millimeter?" (Sen. Miller, Chicago Tribune)"
