Because 9/11 applies exactly to this situation.
If your job is to serve and protect, and to do that, you may have to shoot and kill another human being and you can't handle that, you shouldn't be doing that job in the first place. If you are doing that job, you could freeze up in the moment that decides whether a whole plane full of people lives or dies and that's not a risk worth taking with some one who isn't completely mentally able to do their job.
