Paintball pistol loaded with pepperball rounds (www.pepperball.net).  No -
not foolproof - but guaranteed not to pierce the fuselage.  It also is a
"proximity" weapon - it has a radius of something like 3 feet.  Tranquilizer
darts, while safe for the airplane, must hit the *target* to be effective.

I've been trying to score a few through a freind (former LEO) to check em
out.

A few other pop into mind - stun guns, tazers, pepper spray, and so on.  I
for one am interested in the types of "safe" or less-destructive weapons we
may be seeing in the next couple of years as some sort of sky-marshall
program is implemented.
