Comments I read and hear frequently:
- why do I need a weapon when I have the aeroplane? I could just push forward and game over.
- this is just political correctness ("gone mad")
- we are above screening ("period")

Yeah, yeah.

There are ARMED pilots, at least in the US.

I donīt need a weapon as I have the crashaxe up front.

But my nailscissors are taken away.

And every freakin airport has a different set of rules.

My opinion: crew security being at the same level than pax is just plain ridiculous. I feel above that. Cause I donīt need a weapon.

How hard is it to grasp that concept? Is that rocketscience? Why should I be denied tobring my own mineralwater. I like to have the same restriction put on members of parliament - that would be gone quicker as a lightning. It is easy to put restrictions on others.

They have gone mad. PERIOD.
