You obviously don't like security guards? OK, who does? But that really isn't the point. If you drink before you drive/fly/drive a train or do anything else that requires concentration then you have NO ONE else to blame but yourself if you get caught.

Presumably you would be quite happy for everyone to ignore a taxi driver who had been drinking and let him drive your family about? How would you feel if such a taxi driver had an accident after you smelt drink on him and you did nothing about it, and as a result someone else was killed or injured!

Or perhaps you think that a pilot who drinks wouldn't have an accident?

I am not prejudging this pilot, but I am sorry, some of you have to face a couple of simple facts here, one of which if he is found guilty it is totaly down to him and no one else.
