Why doesn't this bother you, U3K; I would have thought that this is the crux of the security argument. If you are going to try and provide as tight security as possible, you need to screen evrybody that gets airside.
[quote]I am bothered by the fact that a pilot could be treated in the manner listed above by a national guardsman who is on a massive ego trip because now he can dress up and play soldier and carry his gun to the airport and look cool interrogating people. These are the same guys who never finished second level comprehensive school and who chose the army as a career!<hr></blockquote>
