He should do this at US Airports too, i dare him



SAO PAULO -- A United Airlines pilot was briefly detained at the international airport after lowering his pants during a security screening, police said Saturday.
Pilot Michael D. Slynn, 49, was asked to remove his belt and shoes as part of a routine security screening Friday afternoon. In response, Slynn laughed at security guards and lowered his pants to his ankles, said a police spokesman who was prohibited by departmental rules from giving his name.
Slynn was detained but released shortly afterward and allowed to fly back to Washington, D.C., after signing a document promising to appear before a judge the next time he is in Brazil, the spokesman said.
Calls to United Airlines in Brazil were not immediately returned. When asked for comment, Sarah Massier, a spokeswoman for the Chicago-based company, wrote in an e-mail, "We are investigating the matter."
Two telephone numbers listed for a Michael Slynn, in California and Florida, respectively, were disconnected or could not take messages Saturday.
Federal Police Chief Rafael Andreatta was quoted by the Internet site of the Brazilian newspaper O Globo as saying the pilot "did not respect security rules and made fun of officers."
It was not the first time an American pilot has gotten into trouble for allegedly responding inappropriately to Brazil's airport security measures.
In 2004, American Airlines pilot Dale Robin Hersh was fined $13,000 for allegedly giving the finger as he was being photographed at Sao Paulo's Guarulhos International Airport. The photograph was among entry requirements for U.S. citizens implemented by Brazil at the time in response to similar rules in the United States.
Police accused Hersh of showing contempt for authorities and took him to a federal courthouse. Hersh agreed to a prosecutor's offer to pay a fine in exchange for no charges being filed against him.
 
Airlines will have to change there uniform policy and do away with belts, San belt trouslers, or how about spenders? The whole security thing is such a joke any way.

Maybe some of those cool one piece jumps suits from the sixties.

A long time ago, I stopped keeping an eye out for Santa Claus on Christmas eve because when I was 5, my mother told me that Santa was a wicked pervert who would cut off my peepee with a pair of scissors and that if I didn't stop chattering about him, he would be certain to put me on his list and look me up.
Christmas was never the same after that, but at least I still have my peepee.
 
I like how one of our Captain's had his finger nail clippers taken from him back in the day. He then proceeded to the plane and brought his crash axe to the TSA people to show them what he had on the plane!

I love it...If we all did this, things would change....
 
If you want to really piss of TSA, bring some giant, metal, 9" knitting needles......

You could do more damage with one of these than a case of nail clippers or a 10 gallons of shampoo.

But they have to let them through. It really emphasizes just how impotent they are.
