Slap on the wrist or life in prison?
 

Think airline flights are safe?:

Two things you need to know. First this is just the guy who got caught. Most don't get caught. Second anytime you allow a minimum wage employee access to the secure areas of the airport with no screening the above is happening all the time.

They're extremely safe. Apparently the combination of my wings, wedding ring, and name tag set off the detector in Mobile and I got the 15 minute pat-down...literally.

I have always assumed this stuff went on for the reasons sailingfun wrote.

It drives me nuts that we are sometimes patted down, given a hard time and treated like the enemy while going through TSA yet others who are much more of a danger are given free reign. If passengers only knew! :mad:

Pilots also qualify.

Smile and wave boys, smile and wave!

We are far less likely to have someone from our ranks attempt something like this. Not saying it will never happen, but most of us have more vested in a long term career than the rampers and other employees.

Stories like this are always the rampers. We had some in SLC that were doing the same gig as this guy only it was transporting heroin to Oakland. That was about 5 years ago. In my mind it is just plain crazy that these employees are not screened. Can't figure out how the TSA thinks that is OK.

I just want to know where I can run guns while only facing a "slap on the wrists".

I figured one would automatically win a trip to Club Fed for a high double-digit stay...

I thought this thread was about marriage based on the title.
