If you're going to pick a fight, say no FAs deserve it. Not just ours.
The FAs definitely deserve it, they're crew members just like we are and are the first line of defense against the bad guys sitting in the passenger seats.

Just my analysis.
I agree with you on TSA. But, our pilots go through a six week course, does that make them twice as safe? A pilot has a LOT more ability to negatively affect the security of an aircraft than a FA does. But, there has to be a level of trust, a level of trust or we paralyze ourselves.
