Dude.....just jump through the hoops. Its 2008 (post 9/11)-we all have to go through the same process. Yes we all remember the days when you could stroll around the tarmac without a care in the world (because you had a Pilots Licence) but those days are gone. So next time you have to apply for an Asic card...maybe go for a walk first and get some fresh air, listen to some Enya, relax and don't let it get to you. Because....this will go on for the rest of your career.
