It was sort of buried in this thread about cabin crew and screening, and I will admit that initially I didn't make the connection from the story to the thread topic. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...screening.html

But there are thousands of examples of dishonest crew all over the world, and I agree that simply wearing a uniform does not mean that one is trustworthy.

Many of us have higher security clearance than the majority of TSOs and look where that gets us.... (and them!)
