Ladies and Gentleman, if I may put in my two cents here, I don't want to worry about what airline I'm flying on and are they part of tsa precheck, or if the airport has heard of said program. My question is why isn't every airport equiped with a laptop to support Known Crewmember? And why is it left to an individual airline to pay for its crewmembers to be a part of it? I mean, the agents are there, the laptop is there, why can't FedEx go through? Because Fred said 'no'? We all need to push very hard to have one level of Known Crewmember for all of us, just like one level of safety, and with ALPA leading the way, its a matter of time before it becomes a reality. That last sentence was meant to be sarcastic.

Ya hit the ball out of the park on this one Ultra. This is a concept that apparently escaped all the lawmakers and financially responsible businessmen out there. Maybe they should all go do a year deployed...and for the ones who have done one, do a year refresher deployment. (Not on a staff either) Movement to contact and all that fun stuff... Then if they make it through the deployment and they drag their tired a$$ (which won't be as fat anymore) onto the A/C, they can wonder about the outcome of the flight home.

I heard the same thing. But why should he get in trouble? Probably for publicly disclosing the clown act that is the TSA and their policies relative to crew members.
Otherwise, what laws did he violate? Attempting to sneak a deadly weapon past security? The same one that MUST be in the cockpit?

P.S. I tried to get my sixth grader to type this, but she said that this was boring her.
