Absolutely right, boofhead. We have turned into a society of frightened, humbled, downtrodden cowards. And I include fellow tech-crew in that. Can you believe I've seen CAPTAINS peer through the peek-hole and delay going to the toilet because a SIX-YEAR-OLD CHILD was outside the door?? I've seen Captains refuse to go speak with passengers, even to say "hello", because it might be "a security risk". My God....! Here in Aus, security nazis are now confiscating pilots' Maglite torches.... You know, the things you need to do walk-arounds with.... And rather than stand up to these people we meekly hand them over. And instead of our company getting on our side and dealing with issues like this they threaten us with DISMISSAL if you refuse to comply with security!
Historians of the future will look back at this era in astonishment. Astonishment at what a pathetic society we turned into.
I'm embarrassed to be a part of it.
