I've flown with three FFDOs...all were rational people. But yeah...if he gave that brief, I would have laughed my way right out of the cockpit.

That's what's sad...the entire program is designed to give a backup to other methods of security (ok...let's be honest...the TSA doesn't count). Unfortunately, there are people who do it who genuinely are concerned about security, and then people like this guy who just want to get a gun and tell people in bars "I'm a Federal Agent. Like James Bond. I mean...if James Bond was an American...I would be him. Except better than him."
