I was just watching the local Atlanta news this evening and saw a report that a Comair Capt. was arrested for having a knife in his bag. The report said that he first denied having it and then later admitted to knowing , but forgot it was there.
This is just rediculous, the TSA seems to not use a bit of logic when dealing with pilots. Am I wrong in thinking that if you verify the SIDA badge with the person in front of you, along with company ID, and maybe an outstation manager with the company, that an incident like this should be forgotten immediatly?
It's the old logic that if a Captain of an Airliner wants to harm people it is very easy to without the help of anything other than the plane itself, fire axe, Halon,etc..
They should have higher standers when hiring these idiots.
Yes, rules are rules and laws are laws, but **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**!
