Uh, the people on the front lines in "air terrorism" is us. Many of us here fly as much or more than the Captains and FA's. So I think we clearly have the right to complain if we see them doing something blatantly wrong.
And we really hate it when they claim "security reasons" about something when in fact they are simply showing their own fear, uncertainty and doubt. They get paid to be professionals and we fully expect them to be just that.
