Like many pilots I accept the quite absurd screening that I have to go through with resigned boredom.
I am regularly 'frisked' for setting off the extraordinarily variably sensitive arches that we must pass through. My attire varies little but some I walk through with not a bleep and others go off as though I was armed from head to toe.
What I find quite astonishing is the complete refusal to acknowledge the fact that I don't need a weapon to take control of the aeroplane....I already have control!
It is also a littler irritating to observe a general attitude from those in charge in the US that terrorism is a new phenomenon.
The rest of the world has been dealing with it for decades.
