How A Pilot Refused A Full Body Scan And Now May Lose His Job

not racial profiling, terrorist profiling. The Israelis question everyone. It doesn't even matter what questions they ask, its how the people respond, and they are very good at weeding them out.

I just heard on the radio today, that there is an Al Qaida magazine they put out in Saudi Arabia, I can't remember the name of it right now, but they had a statement on the toner cartridge bombs. They cost about $4200 each and weren't designed to kill lots of Americans, just to blow the planes up and kill the pilots, thereby causing the west to spend billions more on additional security checking for toner bombs. Once again, they are winning.

And, here is another example of why these TSAholes shouldn't be doing these enhanced pat downs:
TSA pat-down leaves traveler covered in urine - Travel - News - msnbc.com

and why aren't they wanding anymore? You set off a metal detector so they pat you down to see if you have non metallic items? That is ridiculous.

I will say, I have nothing against the scanners, and welcome those, its the other stuff thats out of hand.

I'm not referring to racial, just plain discrimination, and that will happen. Some one, no matter what race, or color will scream that. Which will bring bring in Gloria Allred.
If you choose not to be scanned, then you have to be patted down.

not if you question everyone and treat everyone the same. The muslims are already screaming because they don't want their women subjected to pat downs, someone is always going to scream.

I guess I'm just not ready to give up liberty for security, and I fly the planes. Plus the TSAholes are idiots. As a crewmember, I am able to have liquids in my bags. Sometimes when I travel for leisure, and am not exempt, I forget to take them out. Its probably happened about 10 times, and not once have they even seen them or stopped me.

You do realize you cannot compare that amount of flights into our out of Israel to the USA right? Are you or others prepared to arrive at least 4 if not 6 or 8 hours early to facilitate extensive interviews? I don't think so. People already bitch and moan about 15 minutes in line.
