Oh Please....
Have you ever seen a congressman go through the checkpoint? I have. Governors and Cabinet level employees too. They do. So do U.S. soldiers. Even the U.N. pukes with diplomatic immunity have to go through the checkpoint.
Everyone who goes through the checkpoint, with the...
Here's one I just heard tonight
Today's 60 minutes coverage of the first few hours in the bunker under the Whitehouse on 9-11. Pres. Bush says to Cheney
"We're at war Dick we're gonna find out who did this and kick their ass!!!"
Actually
There are many different brands of mangnotometers, some go off if you walk slow others when you walk fast, that's why its best to just walk normally at each airport. Don't know why the belt moves backwards first, could just be a way of tightening the belt, I'll try and find out...
Your throwing the scab word around too vaguely. A scab is not someone who flies for Freedom Air.
In the future your saying that if Freedom picks up flying for Amwest or Mesa and if they strike (a lot of ifs here) and if ALPA brands the routes as being struck work, then they would be scabs...
I can't remember who posted claiming that caterers don't get screened. All I can say is are you sure? Have you ever asked one if he's been screened? Ask one next time if they EVER get screened, you'll probably be surprised. General Aviation is about to change a lot of its security practices...
You're right on the Oprahfication of America...but wrong on the TSA screeners. They operate under a totally different administration (TSA instead of FAA) than the previous screeners. The also have different rules, SOP's, hiring standards and training. Don't get me wrong, they are not the cure...
Hey Dep676 lay off Fitzwell at least he's trying to make a difference. What have you done besides bitch and moan to the wrong people?
I am also a furloughed pilot working for TSA and there are a lot of positive changes that have gone into effect that you will probably never see. That said...
I don't know if this has been posted yet...
Airlines Developing Data System To Restore Jumpseat Rights
Aviation Daily08/29/2002
Airlines and pilot unions are combining to demonstrate to FAA and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) an employee data sharing system they hope will...
This is for Shawn C.

Try not to make personal attacks especially when you don't know what you are talking about. If you would have read my profile you'd see that I was not furloughed from Gulfstream, nor did I ever pay to get a job. Don't try and make this into a PFT discussion...
They'd love to have you.
As a furloughed pilot and a current TSA member you should know that no one is instructed to profile anyone, especially crew members. Crew members are also not supposed to be subjected to random screening.
TSA is hiring and if you are a furloughed air carrier employee...
Don't assume that the screeners who made the women drink their breast milk were TSA screeners, remember there's only a few airports where the are official TSA employees (it could have been, I didn't see where it was). I think there's going to be another 30 more this month and then a bunch in...
I agree that there are a lot of idiots working security out there. But think about this. Do you want those idiots trying to distinguish if you really fly for a 121 carrier? Do you think they can differentiate between Osama Airlines and UAL? This is why you as a 121 pilot have to go through...
XJAVRO you must be looking at an old SD (Security Directive). The current one is numbered and ends with 10J. If you are still getting selected for a random search and you are in uniform with proper ID, the airline is going beyond what TSA requires. Some air carriers select their non-rev and...
Can I see Oshkosh in a day? I don't think I'll be able to find a hotel this late, but would love to go. I'd probably have to drive from MKE or Appleton. Can probably on get 2 days off (one for travel).
As stated earlier, the TSA has exempted flight crews from random searches at the boarding gate and at the checkpoint. Each airline can go above and beyond what TSA requires, so if Joe's flying service wants to random everyone, they can. Often the people that get the security directives...
Maybe this guy should sue 7-11 for ID checks when he buys beer, Movie theaters for ID checks for R rated (or X) movies. What about banks for asking for ID to cash a check. What a bonehead!
Not only that but those expensive machines don't work as well as they say they do (they work well but provide a lot of false positives which causes further delays). Hopefully they will extend the deadline.
Macgaw is just one of the first fall guys to go. BTW the faa implemented most of the...
