I have to agree with Ron and Edna's comments - but sadly, I suspect their irony will lost on many outside the aviation industry. (For instance, I'd love to see your average Harley Street specialist being made to remove his shoes out on the street outside his rooms every time goes to work!)
On another point,the following comment should send shivers down the spines of many who who can't go for nine hours plus without a biological break and who fly for airlines from a part of the world that Political Correctness forbids me to name.
If you know a pilot who sympathises with the insurgents in Iraq, and is against the Iraq war - would you worry?
I regularly fly with many such pilots - frequently might be a better word - and even before this latest development, it's occurred to on more than one occasion when I've been waiting for the little red light to change to green and it's taken a little longer than usual to do so whether it is in fact going to change to green and i'm going to be left standing outside the cockpit door (for what might turn out to be the rest of my life).
The current 'impregnable cockpit' security setup is a double-edged sword with potentially tragic consequences when the solitary person sometimes behind that 'impregnable' door is a young man of deeply-held political or -dare I say it? - rel*g*ous convictions.
The EgyptAir 990 crash occurred in 1999, two years before the events of September 11th 2001 sent the security system into its current tail chasing madness, and the main defence of the Egyptians to 'prove' the FO did not purpously cause the crash was that people of that religion Political Correctness forbids us from naming don't commit suicide as it is against the teachings of their holy book.
Most would agree that events on and since September 11th 2001 would seem to have put a hole the size of a 767 fueslage in that argument, yet no one in authority seems to have looked back on that accident with the benefit of post 9/11 hindsight and asked the question "Was he got at in some way by somone who convinced him, for whatever reasons, to tke the actions he took that day?"
