Always wondered this myself. They act like they're on speed or something.

Well you see...

Pitot-static probes are sharp metal objects... so they had to go. As did any antennas and static dischargers... Next was the fuel. Drained to 3oz. Now you're safe for flight! A job well-done TSA!

Looks a lot like DTW......I would expect nothing less. I was in uniform and was told I could not bring an electric shaver through because it had blades. I burst out laughing.....so did the supervisor when called on.

The guys on the Eagle board have been supposedly have been trying to get the media informed over this I'll post your email over there.

So on another note, if i'd have to guess why these guys broke pitot tubes. I'm guessing they couldn't access the aircraft through jetbridge so they decided to try from the ramp using the pitot tubes as something to try to climb up on the plane.
