You obviously don’t understand. Pilots reading this do.

My point is, be careful about taking stuff off the planes. A caviler attutude here can be catastophic. Crew meals, water bottles have precedent with pilots only. Take a bite out of that wrap before you walk off the plane. Do not take anything else. I think flt ops has better sense than to test the issue, but the legalities are clear. Taking supplies off the plane is stealing company property. My inference here is the liquor. Not worth it to make that test.

I will not submit to any kind of search by company people. Law enforcement is a different matter. The flight attendants do not have that luxury.

I'll go to jail, cancel the flight, and have ALPA lawyers represent me, then I sue UAL for damages.

Um......you should NEVER allow law enforcement to search anything of yours either unless they have a warrant.

Ever hear of the 4th amendment?

US courts generally rule that non-consensual TSA searches are "justifiable." I'm not saying I agree with it, but you won't win if you sue the TSA for searching your stuff without consent. I think we're way off topic now

He's not talking about ordinary searches at TSA checkpoints.

neither am I

To reiderate....If TSA or law enforcement ask to search me or my belongings at the airport or onboard the aircraft (other than at the security checkpoint), I'll tell them to show me a warrant, and if they don't, I will tell them that I do not consent to any searches and simply walk away, and leave the sterile area if necessary.

He's talking about pew pews knucklehead.

And you'll be escorted out of the airport by LEOs and face company discipline tough guy. Might even catch a couple federal charges if they feel like flexing or are in a bad mood.

Look closely at every airport and you'll see signs informing you that by stepping on airport property and entering the sterile area you consent to search of all belongings.
