Sorry for the late reply but I've been down route.
-----------------------------------------------. ."Are you sure that you work part time in security? ". .------------------------------------------------
I don't work part time in Security - I work full time in Security for a major UK airline. Having a line pilot involved allows a pilot input to the processes and ensures practical feed-back. It is easier to affect things from inside than sitting outside moaning.

I do! Just back from a three day trip and when I am down route I inspect the security arrangements so that I KNOW what is really happening.
I suggest you get real - or remove the "semi" from your profile! Because one thing is for sure; if your FAA mandates half of what it has proposed for your 121 airlines (and even us 129 operators!)this new regime is going to be around for a long time to come.
