Re: Security checks for crews are getting to the riduculous!
And as for the "You could carry something past and then give it to someone to use on another aircraft" argument... Why doesn't this apply to the police who are allowed to swan on through setting off the scanner without being searched. Obviously they are always going to set off the scanner with their weapons, but they could still be hiding something else couldn't they?
Why is a policeman above suspision but the captain is not? OK, rhetorical question... The police have always been above the law. Is it right though?
