Gee Flip Flop...obviously a ground pounder. Pilot files big suit for the mental distress...looses his medical because of all the mental distress (he just said he was severely mentally distressed by filing suit)....no medical, no fly...no fly no job. end of story.. .. .A fair part of the current "security" stupidity is promulgated by the law enforcement community and by big shot political types who want the favorable(?) publicity. Hopefully things can become more rational when the spotlight is shone somewhere else. If Osama's boys (and girls) are going to do something more what makes everyone think it will be airplanes? What about ships, freight containers, electronic attacks? Or necessarily anything to do with transportation.. .. .If us poor Yanks were really lucky we could fly places like LHR with it's air tight security. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 21 March 2002, 14:45: Message edited by: Iron City ]</small>
