Tripower, I don't blame you for feeling frustrated. I would suggest, however, that the solution is not to stop searching crews. At my base, after Lockerbie all the crew/groundstaff access points that did not involve screening were closed, and all airport employees had to be searched. Pilots, loaders, ramp staff, airport employees- no exceptions.. .It gets a bit repetitive- I don't feel insulted by the process, though. At one company, security took the trouble to explain- now, no employee can be blackmailed into carrying weapons airside- it doesn't matter how you threaten me or my friends, I have no more ability to smuggle a weapon than a passenger.. .Deliberately singling out crews, though- I can fully appreciate how you feel about that, all I can suggest is write to your congressman and ask him to campaign for a more comprehensive search regime.
