I realize that people may pretend to be a pilot to bypass security - this is why we need a foolproof method of identifying actual pilots. We need to focus on identifying people vice objects.
No argument from me! I'm just pointing out the inconvenient truth behind the fact that we are viewed differently by the policy makers than we view ourselves.

We reply with "Yeah, but...", and the headlines of Stupid Pilot Tricks gets waved in our face. We remind everyone of how we have a crash axe in the cockpit, and how we've got the yoke in our hands, and how we are trusted with hundreds of lives and millions of dollars worth of airplane...

...and they show the mug shots of drunk pilots trying to fly, or blowing holes in the airplane with his gun, or leaving his gun at Sbarro...

...and the critical element of INTENT is lost in the mix.

US intelligence officials feared that al Qaeda terrorists in Yemen were plotting to attack the United States and actually intercepted what they now believe were "dry run" shipments to Chicago in mid-September, according to several people briefed on the plot and a senior US official.

Someone on a different thread showed that today was actually the last day for the DC-9-30 as it flew from DTW to Orlando Sanford.

Can someone photo shop a picture of a DC-9 and add a couple of smart bombs on it please? I think it might need a receptacle for air refueling, too. I'll put it on my "dash." Thanks.
