So when you swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States... Wouldn't that include the Bill of Rights, including the fourth amendment? Those are the ideals that thus country was founded upon. I applaud you for serving your country, but it seems that you may have lost the vision of which your expertise was dutifully requested by your country.

That is just my opinion. If you understand the oath that you took to be subjected to interpretation, then I appologise. The new scanners might help keep us safe, but they are a violation of our rights as Americans. There are other, more productive means of improving safety in our skies.

From Steve McKnight XJT.....

I can't thank you guys enough. Heck, I thought we just get a few bucks together to make sure he had a nice holiday. The outpouring of support from everyone....FA's MX, DX and FI's has been increadible. Almost 200 people. Many many many people giving 3 digits! I'm going to shut down the paypal on wed morning and transfer the amount to his account in time for Thanksgiving. I won't go into the totals on here but email me if you'd like. Thank you all again.

Oh, and if there is anyone on APC I don't log in over there so can you post this there as well....thanks.

.......I just spoke with Michael and while on the phone did a paypal transfer to his account. Funny, then I got a call from Paypal to confirm the large transaction....(hahahahaha.big brother watching) Anyway, he was very moved by the generosity of his coworkers in the industry. I also composed a letter on behalf of us and emailed it to him. Thank you all who responded with gifts and with kind words of encouragement. Below is the letter. Also, from here on out please don't send ME (mcknight) any more money. If you missed out and would like to help Michael there is a "donate" link on www.fedupflyers.org and I'm sure he would be greatful for any help that comes his way. Thank you all again.
