max_cont, you wrote:. .TAT, how does being subjected to the stupidity at “security”, prevent a terrorist who IS a pilot and working as a sleeper from flying the airplane into the building of their choice?
That was exactly my point of my post. Nothing can really effectively guard against infiltration, or just plain suicidal tendencies (Egyptair). Apart from the somewhat ridiculous provision of special departures for certain airlines, the only defence is the airline itself, and you can bet that ALL companies are looking very closely at everyone flying for them, Pilots and Cabin, right now.
Can you imagine what an "insider" suicide would do for an Airline's bottom line?
