They've got a little bit more than that. Let's just say that there are procedures to verify they are who they say they are. Much like CrewPass would do.

Today, it finally happened. Retard sues for infringement of rights he doesn't posses
So this dip$hit, who has "more kids and less money than most people he knows" has decided that he is going to NO SHOW for the work that provides for those children.
Instead, he is now seeking to provide for his family by suing the TSA, (or MEM airport, or whomever) for violating his Fourth Amendment rights. For, you see, they had the audacity to search the persons and property that HE SUBMITTED TO SEARCH as a requirement of entry to a security sensitive area.
Of course, he had no problem finding an attorney who will gladly deplete his savings on the promise that his suit suing the sky for being blue instead of orange has merit.
He honestly seems to suffer from the delusion that SUBMITTING YOURSELF to a search is somehow on par with the door to your home being kicked down without a warrant in the middle of the night. I feel sorry for the "more children than most" that have this knucklehead for a provider.
Letting your ignorance fuel your populist drama fantasies to the point where you self destruct is one (kinda funny) thing when children aren't involved. Nothing funny about this clown show.

Does he still have a job?

Too bad the tsA doesn't. How hard is it to get a bona fide job as a cleaner, ramper, fueler etc. Then you wouldn't need to get a fake airline uniform to bypass passenger screening, because you'll have a real one, with unfettered access to the "secure" area......
It's already been done and it's the reason that pilots are screened today.......

Its a tragedy that in this day and age we still have people who believe ExpressJet is the only place on the planet with food.

Mr. Roberts a tool? Whether or not he is one is definitely at question. The fact that he HAS one is not in question and evidenced by the multiplicity of his breeding practices.
One must ask oneself, "Self, what kind of person would marry this type of personality? This personality did not develop overnight. And then pursue impregnation by said personality type? Multiple times? Who is this woman. (Flight attendant!)"
It leads to several lines of thought, but the theory that has the most weight is that 2 people on the verge of being unhinged from normal societal parameters met and procreated. That means not only did both flawed personalities spread their gene pool very graciously for the rest of us to put up with, they are also in charge of raising those children. This will result in future assstupidity (new slang) for us all to enjoy.
Summation: People like this exist for our entertainment. Try to keep them from hurting (aka breeding) with those you love, and enjoy the monkeyshow.

If Roberts were a Muslim then the ACLU would be kicking his door in to represent him. He could accuse the TSA of profiling him and every leftist blame America first media outlet ( virtually all of them) would be holding this pilot up as a victim. But you're not so you don't get victim status.

Yeah but would they get the cocky attitude and big watch wearing right?

Darn, you guys are pretty rough on a guy who is taking a stand for all you whining wussies. No amount of explanation will be enough for those of you asleep, or those content with the speed at which your hamster wheel turns.
This guy, M.Roberts, gets it , but sadly most don't.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!”

Tuesday, October 19, 2010
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com
(NaturalNews) I encountered my first airport naked body scanner while flying out of California today, and of course I decided to "opt out" of the scan. You do this by telling the blue-shirted TSA agents that you simply wish to opt out of the body scanner. Here's what happened after that:
A TSA agent told me to step to the side and stay put. He then proceeded to shout out loudly enough for all the other travelers and TSA agents to hear, "OPT OUT! OPT OUT!" This is no doubt designed to attract attention (or perhaps humiliation) to those who choose to opt out of the naked body scanner. I saw no purpose for this verbal alert because the same TSA agent who was yelling this ultimately was the one who patted me down anyway.
For the pat down, first I was required to walk through the regular metal detector. From there, I was asked if I wanted to be patted down in a private room, or if I didn't mind just being patted down in full view of everyone else. Not being a shy person in the first place, I told the agent I didn't need a private room.
He then explained to me that he was going to pat down my entire body, including my crotch and my buttocks, but that he would use the back of his hands to pat down the crotch and buttocks areas. This is probably designed to make the pat-down seem less "personal" and more detached. That way, air passengers can't complain of being felt up by TSA agents who might get carried away with the pat-down procedure. He asked if it hurt for me to be touched anywhere, and I told him no, at which point he proceeded with the pat down.
It was a well-scripted pat-down, covering all the areas of my body, including a mild crotch sweep (it wasn't especially invasive or anything, as doctors will do far worse during a physical exam). He swept my arms, legs, hips, back of the neck, ankles and everywhere else. To the TSA's credit, this guy was fast, efficient and only used a light touch that was in no way disturbing. But it did take an extra five minutes or so compared to walking through the naked body scanner.
Speaking of the naked body scanners, as I was having my crotch swept by the back of the hand of this TSA agent, I was observing other air travelers subjecting themselves to the naked body scanners. They were told to walk into the body scanner staging area and then hold their arms in the air in a pose as if they were under arrest. They were told to freeze in this position for several seconds (perhaps 10 seconds) during which they were being blasted with ionizing radiation that we all know contributes to cancer.
The TSA, of course, will tell you that these machines can't possibly contribute to cancer. But they said the same thing about mammograms, and we now know that mammograms are so harmful to women's health that they actually harm ten women for everyone one woman they help (http://www.naturalnews.com/020829.html). So I'm not exactly taking the U.S. government at its word that naked body scanner radiation is "harmless."
As these air travelers were being scanned, their naked body images were appearing on a screen somewhere, of course. Some TSA agent was examining the naked body shape and contours of all these people, and even though we were told by the TSA that the image viewing machines cannot store images, we have since learned that the machines actually do have the capability to store those images (http://www.naturalnews.com/029378_f...). In addition, rogue TSA employees could simply use their cell phones to take snapshots of what they see on the screen. There are no doubt rules against such behavior, but it's bound to happen sooner or later.
Meanwhile, my own security screening was proceeding fully clothed. I don't want to broadcast my naked butt cheeks on the TSA's graphic monitors, thank you very much!
Very few people opt out of the naked body scanners
The most fascinating part about this entire process was not the verbal broadcast of my opt out status, nor having my crotch swept by the latex-covered back hand of some anonymous TSA agent, but rather the curious fact that I was the only one opting out. Although I must have watched at least a hundred people go through this particular security checkpoint, there wasn't a single other person who opted out of the naked body scan.
They all just lined up like cattle to have their bodies scanned with ionizing radiation.
To me, that's just fascinating. That when people are given a choice to opt out of being irradiated, they will choose to just go along with the naked body scan rather than risk standing out by requesting to opt out.
You see, I'm not convinced that the TSA's naked body scanners enhance air travel security at all. Previous security tests conducted by the FAA show quite clearly that the greatest threat to airplane safety isn't from the passengers but from ground crews, where bombs and other materials can be quite easily smuggled onto planes.
But even though naked body scanners may not enhance air travel security, they do accomplish something far more intriguing: The successful completion of an experiment in human behavior. If you were to pose the question "Will people line up like cattle to be electronically undressed in front of government security officers?" The answer is now unequivocally YES!
Most people, it turns out, will simply do whatever they're told by government authorities, even if it means giving up their privacy or their freedoms. Almost anything can be sold to the public under the guise of "fighting terrorism" these days, including subjecting your body to what is essentially a low-radiation CT scan at the airport!
I don't know about you, but I don't think I should be required to subject myself to ionizing radiation as a condition of air travel security. Of course, the more technically minded readers among you might counter by saying that high-altitude travel is, all by itself, an event that subjects you to low levels of ionizing radiation (which is true). But that's all the more reason to not add the body's radiation burden any more than necessary. Americans already get far too much radiation from CT scans and other medical imaging tests (not to mention mammograms). Do we really need to dose peoples' bodies with yet more radiation every time they board an airplane?
...
And virtually no one protests. That's the really amazing part about this.

No they don't. This discussion shouldn't go further because it involves sensitive information. But they certainly DO NOT have the same ID I have. I'm also not a sheeple, thank you very much. I'm very much a person with a BRAIN that can see when something makes logical sense and when it doesn't. There's a lot of TSA bull-carp that makes no sense. In this particular case, the TSA policy actually does make sense, until such time that there is a secure crew ID system.
Yeah, CNN was a fustercluck. All last week was... intense. I didn't sleep for nine days. Didn't even know you could do that. I told my counselors I was an F'd up wreck and couldn't go on tv, but I guess it had to be done. I've had a little rest and am hoping future appearances won't be so jacked. In any case, I'm resolved to keep telling the truth because without it there's no freedom. And our freedom is under assault. I did a radio interview for about an hour that went much better and explained some stuff. More to come...
My point is that over the years I have seen the proffession deteriorate to the point that that we are nothing more than airborne bus drivers and searches of flight crews in front of their passengers just may be the ultimate insult. The foolishness of searching someone who will be at the controls within a short period is sublimely ridiculous. Even passengers see this and comment on it. Whatever you think about Michael Roberts is irrelevant, He may be the only one announcing that the king has no clothes.

There is a fault in your line of reasoning.
He disagreed, said his piece and went home. He didn't get in a cockpit and suddenly decide he disagreed with Embraer or Expressjet in the middle of a flight.
The real Raoul would not be pleased with you ....
Thanks, I'm actually sleeping okay again and I think I've got my media legs under me now. I did a CNN interview this morning and another local tv thing yesterday without any trouble. "I'm feeling much better now.." [crazy grin]
I'm using facebook as my central point of communication now if anyone cares. Check it out.

You make me sick. This guy is fighting for what he believes in and with that fight we all will benifit.
The only thing you have to say is that? You can take your 2.5 year upgrade at Jetblue, sit reserve in BOS and enjoy life. You are one of the many problems we have in this industry. Make your aurgument useful if you do not agree.

Ahhh, I see his problem now. Excellent subject to be a follower instead of a leader when it comes to cutting edge civil rights.
Just another sheep to the slaughter. I forgive you Vingus and will continue to fight for you and the rest of the sheep that cannot see the forest through the trees.

Many developments in the works. Another pilot has joined the club - canceling a USAir A320 flight in the process (though USAir hasn't divulged the real reason for the cancellation). Stay tuned on that and the other one at CAL - media contact the Rutherford Institute regarding them as well.
I've just launched FedUpFlyers.org. It's still very much a work in progress but will be the go-to place on the Internet for information, perspective, and assistance on this. Please send others there - especially if they might need help or guidance in resisting the authoritarian state and TSA's abuse.
Things are happening fast now. I'm having a hard time keeping up!
