Nothing will change till the Airlines and passengers say enough is enough and since it still goes on to this day I really see no change in the forseeable future .
Its all about FEELING safe or is it ?
And as far as taking someone elses liquids or whatever thru security ,thats nothing but a way to get set up by said individual savvy?

Wow, you guys actually make eye contact with passengers and other people in security? I try to avoid that at all costs. No one can ask me to carry their turkey sandwich through. Beside, I feel guilty just being able to butt in front of the whole line. I hate the dirty looks I get!
Thats also why I sit in the cockpit when non-revving. Slim chance of getting hit up for a Multi Level Marketing plan up there.

Pay the TSA more, but pilot pay everywhere is fine.
I agree with the hiring requirements though.
I applied to TSA a couple times after 9/11 and before the recently ended regional airline hiring boom, when my flight instructor job wasn't paying the bills. I never got a call back. I have a Bachelor's degree.
Must have been over qualified.

If you were applying in Detroit you are about 2 degrees overqualified. I think they only hire you if your highest education was middle school graduate. I can't stand riding the crew bus with them... I feel like I need to shower again just by being on the same bus.
