Security
Sacramento-area pilot punished for YouTube video.
Sacramento-area pilot punished for YouTube video | News10.net | Sacramento, California | Local News
An airline pilot is being disciplined by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for posting video on YouTube pointing out what he believes are serious flaws in airport security.
The YouTube videos, posted Nov. 28, show what the pilot calls the irony of flight crews being forced to go through TSA screening while ground crew who service the aircraft are able to access secure areas simply by swiping a card.An airline pilot is being disciplined by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for posting video on YouTube pointing out what he believes are serious flaws in airport security.

Well, there ARE very plainly displayed posters and notices at every security checkpoint (and even customs/immigration facilities) that I've gone through in the last several years that expressly prohibit photography. I expect that was also the case here.
So posting a video taken in an area where its prohibited to take one isn't very clever, and is asking for a reaction really.

There is some video on the link I posted at the top of the thread. It's on the right side of the page.

Most intelligent US citizens, and BTW there are a few, agree that the whole thing is largely TSA security theater. Yet there is nothing we can do. Our lawmakers lack the testicles to fix it. We can no more put common sense into our system than you British can straighten out LHR. Anyone that's spent any time around airports and aircraft can think of a half-dozen ways evade security. So what the hell do we do?

I don't know if the pilot identified himself in his vids, didn't watch. He signed legal documents when he was sworn in as a Federal LEO that his status as an armed pilot was not to be revealed to those who have no need to know...... not to mention the same non-disclosure of any security details or procedures either in or out of the c/p.

Hi,
Sometimes ... even a priest has to break the seal of confession!

TSA is a joke
Airport Security: Loaded Gun Slips Past TSA Screeners - ABC News
recent article on airport security and TSA where undercover agents would try and smuggle things through security and succeeded 50 times out of 70 to either smuggle a gun or a bomb part through security. I dont know about you guys that seems like a lot to me.
sure does make TSA look like a joke I wonder if federal marshal are going to storm ABC news studio and take away their cameras!

One of the reasons I gave up my career, was because I had no intention of being assaulted every time I went to work. Neither will I support any state, including my own (UK) that utilises private forces that commit assault, sometimes of a serious sexual nature, and that force is not held publicly accountable or their crimes investigated and the guilty being charged and tried. The so called 'War on Terror' has turned us in something that the war was supposed to prevent.
Just out of curiosity, did Adam Savage go on any rampage with his razors? Any disembowelling of crew and pilots during the flight....etc.etc. Thought not.

spinnaker,
Well said.
The points made by others (and myself ) having been removed tells you all you need to know what is happening to the "Land of the Free"
