What exactly do you want people who smell alcohol on a pilots breath to do? Ignore it because they are flight deck crew?
Do as you like bjcc, I simply pointed out that by removing a smell I remove your gripe....right? I mean, if I'm staggering around thats one thing...but your sense of smell seems to be too sensitive. More so than even the alcohol detectors used by the authorities to assess levels of blood alcohol! Can you explain how alcohol was smelled, but not actually detected? Perhaps it wasn't alcohol that was actually smelled at all, eh? Meanwhile someone lost his job based solely on your security mens mistaken suspicions.

Hand me the Polo Mints!

"Not excusing drinking before flying" So what are you doing? - either the guy was drinking and over the limit or he was not. Its not rocket science.
You can tell that just by sense of smell?

Pass me the TicTacs.
