The media is feeding the fire with gasoline and the subject is a hot one. I can say though that since TSA has started this process that we have scored 100 percent on detection of test items.
Perhaps this is getting overblown by the media, but the fact remains that TSA's policy is to screen pilots -- many who are allowed to have a gun in the cockpit, not to mention that they are in control of the entire airplane.
TSA should not disregard the loss of credibility they suffer based on this point alone.
If TSA wants us to at least believe they know what they are doing, then they can stop with retarded policies like this. Wanding babies in diapers and allowing Muslim women to pat themselves down are a few more. I mean, why can't I get that good deal?
