You can disagree with me all you want and you can rant and flame about TSA all day long. I never said I think TSA is perfect at securing our airports, I am simply saying that just because you are inconvenienced sometimes while going to, or from, work doesn't mean they should stop doing something.

You are all pilots, how do you like it when people tell you how to do your job? I am not talking about someone who is in our chosen profession giving you solid critical advice, but how about when Joe Schmo makes a comment about one of your landings on a particularly gusty day? You may see a bunch of guys/girls with GEDs at the scanners but you should realize that there are people in TSA who are a hell of a lot smarter than you at protecting airports/airplanes/the public. I know it is a shock isn't it. Now Before you all open up with both barrels I am not giving TSA a ringing endorsement I am merely pointing out that you, and I as well, don't have the fullest of pictures on what it is they are facing day to day. We do not have to deal with the same set of problems they do and if you think that securing a piece of real estate as big as an airport is simple your sadly mistaken.

Someone asked "Common bro are you actually saying that you do not trust 100% of your peers?" Well bro I spent 11 years as a Marine there are a few people I trust 100%. You are not one of them. The guy who I have never flown with and who I know nothing about personally but who I have to go fly a 4 day trip with is not one of them. That is not to say I go in expecting everyone to do something crazy but I don't live in a world where I am naive enough to believe everyone is inherently good. Some people jeopardize there own security, and mine and passengers, without even thinking they are doing it.

As for the guy who isn't worried because it is a 1/1000 thing. I hope your not at work on that day when the odds catchup because we relaxed.

just my 2 cents...go ahead and flame away.
