Thank Goodness this guy wasn't a passenger! The outrage here would have been been over a thousand posts by now. What about if he worked for security? Prune would have melted down and we would have a China Syndrome.
If he had visited Pakistan recently and worked for the TSA on secondment to LHR to assist on the Crew Gate then the bonfire of the vanities would be alight. And, the Lord forgive, what if he was a j*urn*l*st as referred to above? The world would have to end tonight.
Are pilots (let alone captains) still Holier than Thou? Or can we put that one to bed?
If only 411A were around to see this. God Bless.
