cavanami Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 The pilots are pissed and continue to stay pissed off!!! Pilots among those dismayed at scanners, pat-downs Growing number of pilots joining airline passengers frustrated over scanners, pat-downs http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Pilots-among-those-dismayed-apf-1682105194.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=main&asset=&ccode= CHICAGO (AP) -- Airport security stops one airline pilot because he's carrying a butter knife. Elsewhere, crews opt for pat-down searches because they [color:red]fear low-level radiation[/color] from body scanners could be harmful. And in San Diego, one traveler is told he [color:red]can't fly at all when he likens an intrusive body search to sexual harassment[/color]. Annoyance at security hassles has been on the rise among airline crews and passengers for years, but the widespread use of full-body image detectors this year and the simultaneous introduction of more intrusive pat-downs seems to have ramped up the frustration. As passengers have simmered over being forced to choose scans by full-body image detectors or rigorous pat-downs inspections, some airline pilots are pushing back. Much of the criticism is directed at the Transportation Security Administration. "I would say that [color:red]pilots are beyond fed up[/color]," said Tom Walsh, a pilot and sometimes aviation security consultant. "[color:red]The TSA is wasting valuable time and money searching the crew -- who are not a threat.[/color]" Even one of the nation's most celebrated pilots, Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, has detected the growing unease... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acockasian Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Personally I rarely even bother with US news. If I want to know what is happening in the US there are plenty of foreign news sites without the bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
