The aircraft had 2700 lbs of kerosene, heavens on what might-have/could-have happened. I did not realize that TSA had such total lack of control (in spite of their efforts) on the US airspace.
I'm still lost on your premise that air travel requires the showing of ID for public safety. You, like the TSA, come up with poor-sounding excuses rather than actual facts. I strongly suggest you use the "R" in research before using the "W" in write, you'll look a lot less foolish here.
Sir,
Can you please point to any of my posts where I've spoken to you in a disrespectful manner or insulted you. If you can't point any out then I'll ask you to show me the same courtesy.
I have opinions here but I'm looking for other opinions to better inform myself. I never claimed to have any kind of monopoly on anything. I don't deal with airline screening so a lot of things that happen in that arena I'm ignorant of. I try to learn and ask questions about them. So my opinions and feelings on the issue are malleable. In my area I'm an expert. Security screening isn't it.
But if you come at me with an attitude then I'm more likely to ignore you. I doesn't help your case.
