So what exactly is the TSA's beef with pilots? Can you tell us more about what your friend has heard from them? Do they seriously think we're the enemy?
I flew with a Captain way back who flew the 737 in the Air Force transporting live nuclear weapons with a .45 on his hip. Now with 20 years at the airlines (perfectly clean record) he has to remove his shoes (previous rules) at security? They trust a 22 year old former Starbucks coffee slinger over him? They seriously don't know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.
