The most dangerous item
VB passengers could be faced with is an industrial-size bottle of deodorant.
And Air Marshals have orders to take down anyone who attempts to take clean water or soap near a J* Pax!
I don't get how pilots need to be screened (yeah, because they might have a knife in order to gain access to the cockpit!) but other people don't!
Fair enough in a way to screen the pilots, as someone could just get hold of a uniform otherwise and breeze on through. But surely the same should apply to EVERYONE!!! Just cause they get screened wouldn't mean the cops have to leave their 9mm outside, but they would have to prove they needed it. Makes a damn sight more sense to screen someone who is DEFINITELY carrying a lethal weapon (not the DVD) than it does to screen someone whos job is to sit in the pointy end, and who may possibly just maybe be carrying the tweezers of doom!
