Oh the laughs we enjoyed. My best friend at a regional, crashpad roommate and new hire training counterpart was persian born in Iran. His family fled when the Shah was overthrown. Probably the most westernized pro-american family and all became naturalized U.S. citizens. He watched the film with me and had great commentary. The first was that anyone who seriously meant harm wouldn't make such an amature mistake. (they would study the situation for a long time) Just letting everyone know how "profesional" we will look.
That entire video's premise is completely absurd. Especially now when it takes 3-5 ID checks to get to an airplane. And what are you going to do if you see someone not in a uniform you recognize? Are you calling the anti-terror police? You know how many fractional pilots fly our airplanes in full uniform that I don't recognize?
