The rules are not that intrusive and really require no more of an inconvenience. They generally like pilots that do the right thing because it is the right thing, not out of fear. As with everything there are those that surprise even those of us that recommended them.

Do people not know that there are TSA agents at every exit trying to bust us because some of us could not follow the rules? Heck I was a civvie this weekend and had my badge on. I came up the elevator and got accosted. I am darn glad that I did not lose my ticket this time. Happened a few years ago, and my son had pulled the ticket out of my bag. That was ugly, but when I told them what line I went though at the main security checkpoint, that called and confirmed it with the video tape. Saved my bacon.

Just do the right thing even if it is a pita. If not for yourself for the next guy.
