I do agree with both of these procedures.


I disagree with these procedures. Remember the store of the guy who pretended to be an ICE agent? I remember he was able to escort some lady while wearing two guns. I see no reason why flight crews shouldn't be screened. How do you know they really are flight crew? They might have a fake badge and uniform...
