ALC, Sailingfun, finis72 and others,

Just a quick review, It's been a little over 9 years since 9/11 and we still can't go to work without having to deal with this TSA BS. Come on 9 years!, I can go to my local gym and use my thumb print to get in. The technology is available to verify who we are. They (TSA, DHS & FAA) know who we are, we all have had 10 year back ground checks and many have held security clearances in our prior jobs. This is all security theater and I believe most pilots are upset because we know bull **** when we see it. ALPA, has been working on this in the background, but don't you think 9 years is a little excessive. I for one will opt out for the package check every time.

Rant Off.
