Airline Pilots and security

[crashpad]

...TSA’s actions are expected to lead to expansion of the identification verification program....

I'm very familiar with this program. The last time I posted about, some whiney pilot complained to the moderators I was sharing "security sensitive intell" and the moderator sent me a nasty-gram. Whatever...

Trust me, if you're pissed off at the TSA doing their little indian dance around our crews infront of passengers...just imagine what it will be like when these same numble-nuts get to look at your life history on their govt. issued crackberries.

It's getting worse

I just got the full treatment in the crew line, in uniform at MCO last week. Swabbed my bags down, etc... but the vendors etc going through before me went straight through.

Make them delay a flight for this garbage.
Demand a Supervisor and Local law enforcement and a private screening; they have to comply with that request...screw these ****************************************.

I wonder what "soon" will be? Knowing how the governement works, four or five years sounds about right.

The TSA is not the only ones at fault here. They are not making you go through security. It is your company's policy. There are many airlines and locations where the crews can bypass security. We (SWA) had it in LAS, before it was a base. Also when I have used Skywest in Billings the crew walks across the bag scale at the ticket counter and goes to their aircraft. The best I have seen so far is KPIT. TSA guy with a laptop and a good attitude lets you breeze on in.
