More TSA Stupidity
As if we need more.... :D
This past Tuesday morning, at SMF in the terminal serving WN, ALL flight crews were selected for mandatory secondary screening. That's right, every flight crew member passing through the moat for a given period had their baggage rummaged through and received a complimentary pat down. Setting aside the stupidity of considering flight crews as potential terrorists, I guess the mental giants at TSA never figured out that once you engage in one size fits all security, that in the unlikely event that someone in a flight crew might be a disguised terrorist, you've tipped your hand. You line up a dozen crew for full pat downs, if there had been a terrorist in a stolen uniform, I think even he or she would have figured it out and left. |

Isn't the true stupidity the fact that the flight crew doesn't need a weapon to commit an act of terror? They do after all, have access to the cockpit.
According to some on this board, you might be giving them ideas. Shhhhhh! |
Disgusting! I wonder if any of them were FFDOs?

I think we now know what some of the "terrorist chatter" has been hinting at. By the way, one of the key strategies of prevention is to have the security measures random and unpredictable. Be happy that TSA is doing its job. |

TSA - Overreacting to the little things, but not catching the big things! |

I am sure no one had conceived of the idea of using planes as weapons before today. :rolleyes: |

Maybe more incidents like these will cause airline employees to join some of us in calling for the destruction of the TSA and the prosecution of the scumbags "in charge" of TSA.
Please feel free to quote this post for posterity. ;) |

Wow. I am simply dumbfounded by this. I guess we have come to expect anything from the Smurfy Gestapo, but really now? How stupid do they have to be to know that an airline pilot can, at any time, create destruction on a scale that would make 9/11 look like child's play. There is a reason we call it trusting them with our lives, because we do just that.
An airline pilot could be carrying an AK-47 and it wouldn't matter.
