...would happen.. Are you telling that I can put 20,000 volts (not amps...) to my #1 EFIS in IMC and it will be fine? For the love of Pete! I'd rather put a bullet though the **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** thing.. At least that'd be the only "get us home" instrument effected...
Unlike USAir, which fires it's pilot's at the slightest incling of non-compliance, my bet is that Herb will give this guy a pat on the back and just ask him nicely not to do it again...

Hey KSU-
Let's get things back on track shall we... What are your alternative proposals to the some of the current security related issues outlined below:
- Ineffective airport security precedures.
- Unscreened airport workers.
- Unscreened checked bags in aircraft.
- Plastic explosives.
-...
As long as we keep fighting amongst ourselves, the more time it will take to accomplish good things in this industry for eachother. I'm sure University Dude doesn't like being demeaned in security just like the rest of us don't. Who cares.. he's probably young. I say let 'em get some experience...
Again
-If every Airline Pilot out there refused to sign a dispatch release until there were firm, concrete plans for an ID system in place.
With airlines facing immediate bankruptcy .....FIXED .....And probably in about 4 days. Com'mon, this country sent men to moon.... In 1969. No one...
OK, here's my 2c....
And I call it 2c because I doubt any of what I am about to propose will occur.
If every pilot out there simply refused, the problems would be fixed.
- Refuse to sign a dispatch release until ALL bags are physically searched.
The problem of bombs in unscreened bags is...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Air Line Pilots Association is appealing the dismissal of a US Airways pilot who says he was fired for refusing to take off his hat at an airport security checkpoint. Capt. Ed Graf...
'Twas the Night Before Check-In and I had unpacking to
do- Removing all my sharp objects and my wine corkscrew.
Can't carry our items that are for personal use,
or those that we need if a screw comes loose.
Checked baggage for us is not an option you see,
we leave the simplest of items...
Fighterjock, looks like I pissed you off!
AvBug,
Ok, since no one else seems to be up at this hour I will respond again.
It's far better to keep one's trap shut and appear the fool, rather than open it, and remove all doubt.
Since you referred to him, it's a pretty good thing Christ...
Very well put, however opposite to what I believe to be right. I do not have the energy at this hour to make as forthright of a post (as you did) to your responce. However, I will say that an Argenbright security agent is not and never will be the same as a police officer. Of course I wouldn't...
How is that security puke suppose to know you are a legit pilot?
Well, for starters because your're usually with your crew when you go through security, everybody's got their credentials, and when YOU SAY SOMETHING OUT OF COMMON SENCE LIKE CAPTAIN MENEAR DID HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WITH MORE THEN A...
Beechnut-
I find it a disgrace that a professional pilot in charge of a multimillion dollar aircraft, responsible for the safety and comfort of at least a 100 passengers, can't be treated with the respect and admiration HE DESERVES. When he opens his mouth people should shut up and listen...
If you feel this is a complete disgrace you CAN do something about it:

Elwood Menear, 46, will be suspended...
Email I recieved from a retired fellow Airline Pilot who knows Captain Menear personally-
"I know this guy-he was really pretty mild but not one to be stomped on. I would also consider him a friend. He also knows both Wolf and Dan Miller-is a Bucker guy. I am disappointed that this is the...
