After all ... you don't really know that they're flight crew when they come to the checkpoint, do you? I mean, they're in snappy uniforms, and they're carrying badges and all ... but anyone could buy a uniform and forge a badge.
I should clarify that I don't think "everyone" changed their mind, but I think also you know what I meant.
and I respect your personal position.
I have brought up before that flight crew coukd use their plane as a weapon, and I was "flammed" (is that the word) for suggesting so. It was made clear by many on this site that regardless of that particular fact, everyone should be screened, that the government should treat everyone the same.
But, now, for many here, that position seems to have changed. Sorry, guys, being hypocritical does not win arguments, and gives ample reason for TSA, DHS, and members of Congress to ignore you. Wh would thy listen to you when your not honest in your argumet?
