I'm annoyed by this....and I just fly helos.
The terrorist have really won when all this bull!!!! occurs to us aviatiors.
When was the last time any of you hijacked your own aircraft?
Perhaps they should fully automate the cockpit, 'cause after all, Osama proved the aircraft is a weapon itself. I pity you guys with all the, turn the belt buckle over, lift your shoe crap, get scanned upteen times and god help you if you carry a leatherman. Its just menial power tripping by security. I hate going through security everytime now. I was asked for photo ID boarding a bandit, leaving a place called Timmins in Northern Ontario to Moosenee. Moose is an Indian reservation (1000 people tops) about 400 NM from the middle of nowhere!!!!!!
