Not a flight deck issue labbats. It was w KCM line issue that pushed Skippy's button to the point indicating it was solely an issue with F/As. Not defending or condoning the behavior of the F/A. Frankly it was none of Skippy's business as he works for an airline and not for TSA which dealt with the issue in a manner they felt appropriate at the time.
The crewmwmber has every right to submit a letter of complaint to the TSA with copies to the Airline. Likewise the TSA agent has the right to submit a letter of complaint to his/her supervisor against the F/A as well.
At the end of The day, I will wager the issue took no more than 3 minutes the resolve. Unfortunately F/As and cockpit crews are not exempt from inappropriate conduct... but again their are remedies to the bone heads.

Merry Christmas! Sorry for whatever is happening in your life, and hope it gets better soon.
Exactly. Criticism of this may come as across as chafing to the anti-authority crowd, or those who think you magically become a different pilot when you move from commercial to ATP?
FFDO establishment has little to do with flying a plane and more the bizarre fantasy that logical people recognize as fantasy.
I don't nominate any tools today, Merry Christmas y'all.

You really don't add much value here. Even your Yeager quote is asinine. You have just enough knowledge of aviation to not know a damn thing about what 99% of the guys on here really do day to day.
For what its worth, a T-38 used to have an AOA indicator. It was a very nice visual backup to the tactile vibration the jet transmitted at various levels of AOA. The indicator in the F-15 was not used in tactical maneuvering, but was an invaluable tool in AHC and BFM instruction when I could show a pilot on tape review the energy state and AOA at various points in a maneuver or engagement.
Yeagher was made a saint by "The Right Stuff". Most who have worked with the guy will tell you he is an arrogant ass, and a good pilot. Bob Hoover is an outstanding pilot, and an ambassador for pilots everywhere. Be Bob Hoover. Wannabes worship Yeagher. Real professionals in the industry respect and emulate Hoover.
I don't know jack-**** about angioplasty, valve replacements, or other cardiac related matters. I would never attempt to substitute the books I've read, the aerospace physiology training I've done, or my experiences with friends or family for a consultation with an MD who was an expert in his field. As a pilot who has flown 36 years, including lots of time in GA, military fighter operations, and various airline types , I can tell you that the differences between the genres are deep, pronounced, and not subtle. When you start to make pronouncements and declarations about stuff you really don't understand, you reveal a brash overconfidence in your own experience and a condescending tone towards those who take their craft as seriously as you do.
If there was a nicer way to tell you to S-T-F-U, I'd try to do it. That's about as nicely as I can put it.

By the way it's retarded that some chick tried to get her boyfriend through. We all know it. Yeager was an ass. We all know it. Bob Hoover was just a dude. We all know it. And guns have no place on a flight deck. We all know it. Are you gonna take pot shots through the peep hole? Give me a break. Anyone who has a gun on the flight deck is lacking something in their pants to compensate for.
Troll la troll la troll!

Yup, end of discussion. The chick is an idiot. Merry Christmas to all of my brothers and sisters!

Or maybe they're just trying to be nice. Maybe they understand a lot of dudes are stuck. Maybe they're trying to make you feel like if they had anything to do with it they'd be glad to have you next to them up front. Sorry your butt hurts. Merry Christmas.
