I suspect we’ll see TSA double their rate of KCM randoms. Because.

nothing to do with KCM… but IMO the FAA should look at JS access as it is a risk…

Confused as to why the guy would try this on the JS. Why not just do it while he was operating a flight? Odd scenario.

Um, the dude was a pilot. No need for him to use the JS to gain cockpit access when he literally has cockpit access every flight he operates.

IMHO, cockpit JS should only be allowed for traveling to/from an assignment, and only on the pilot’s own metal. No cockpit JS for leisure travel, only cabin.

On other airlines, leisure or to work but cabin only.

This event was bound to happen, not a matter of it, but when.

Only on the pilot's own metal? You must not commute.

You sure you aren’t making decisions as upper level TSA management? Sounds like you’d be a great fit.
