It is on that basis then that we can perhaps argue more convincingly to remove the requirements for making pilots go through the ludicrous screening process at airports. You can't have it both ways... no screening and no ASIC. I reckon if you asked the majority, they would tell you they would much rather have the little plastic card on a lanyard around their neck as opposed to continually emptying their pockets, taking their belts and shoes off and going through metal detectors.
That is only going to benefit a small percentage of Australian pilots who actually operate from major airports.
It will do nothing for the large majority who are saddled with the idiotic ASIC requirements that presume we are dangerous individuals, requiring biannual loyalty checks so we can stop off at places like Coober Pedy or Halls Creek.
Bah..
