Because they wanted to bail the airlines out not open them up to litigation. The airlines and the security would have been held liable for letting pepper spray, knives, bombs (fake or not), and guns on the planes.
Why?
Why would hijackers that needed the planes to keep flying make a plan that required them to put bullet holes in the equipment in the cockpit?
Gunshots would excite the passengers. Knives wouldn't.
The hijackers are known to have practiced martial arts. There is no evidence that any of them owned guns or practiced with them.
There is no evidence that there were guns on the planes.
