It seems that reason will get us nowhere in this '
debate'. I can only assume that the only possible explanation as to why pilots are subjected to humiliation and degredation, is that we can be. It also gives some bitter people the opportunity to extract revenge for our privileged position.
If that's not it, then tell me why we're doing this?
I'm afraid the only casualty in this is security (sic), which has now descended into a farcical stand off between pilots and the scanner wardens.
