Just an FYI

So long as this is possible I'm afraid none of us are safe.

Anyone that has been in the system for a while knows how to get ANYTHING through into the system, CrewPass might make it easier...but TSA needs to spot check pax, not people protecting pax from wx, mx, ground!

How about we do that to the TSA? I mean if anyone is an "insider" who could do harm, who better than someone from the TSA.
Who is watching the TSA?

Ive been thinking of asking to see the TSA agents ID when they hound me in CMH. Im so sick of these jagoffs who are completley retarded and joke on the employee bus about steeling peoples stuff and making people late for their flights. They are almost just as bad as the terrorists themselves.
rant over

A quote I heard attributed to a pilot getting 'the treatment' while going through security- "I can do more damage faster sitting in an airplane stark naked than three terrorists sitting in back with weapons." Or something like that. I think he was disciplined, for being honest. Honestly folks, if any member of the flight crew is intent on causing destruction, TSA screening won't do one thing to detect or stop it. It is bogus and meaningless to screen pilots, and is only to make someone else feel good.

And if you think all of the pilots out there are innocent and would never try brining anything through that they shouldn’t you’re only fooling yourself, and no I am not referring to nail clippers.
On a really unpopular note I am not a big fan of CrewPass either, it’s another weak point that people with bad intentions will try to exploit.

We have avenues to file complaints with TSA yes ?
So if a TSA gets carried away with his or her duties then make a note and file a complaint ,just remember to get name and number .
Just my 2 cents .
They do this because they can and what does not surprise is the lack of an uproar from pax and crews ,if this had been done b4 9/11 ppl would have raised hell about this sort of treatment .
But then again its all about FEELING good .
