Corrected entry: Near the conclusion of the movie, Kyle runs into the cockpit of the airliner with the air marshal Carson in hot pursuit with a small backup handgun that was hidden in his pant leg. Kyle slams the cockpit door, Carson fires his gun at it, and the shots bounce off harmlessly. Wouldn't an air marshal know that airliner cockpits have bulletproof doors? Firing a small-caliber handgun at an armored door at close range would be pointless and could cause the bullets to ricochet back and hit him. Besides, Carson probably is not carrying extra ammunition for his handgun. Why waste the shots when he will surely be able to find Kyle again and have another chance to kill her?
