Perhaps if you had an idea of how many idiotic security measures we are subjected to, and have been trained in over our careers, you might understand my angst. That we should have to jump through mindless and redundant stupid hoops and then hand out crew tags to the general pub is just a non-starter for me. The public should not have access to materials which attempt to establish one's bona fides as an airline crewmember.

As far as Jesus and me being condescending, hell I was just getting warmed up. Come back when contract talks heat up and I'll try and achieve fever pitch.
