Jailed pilot released, gets disorderly conduct charge There is an old, old, old industry joke.. that predates the WTC hit by decades... that "pilots smuggle the two most dangerous weapons in the world onto an airliner attached to their wrists."
I'll wager that this guy said something in that vein after getting the full body search treatment from the security staff.
He should've known better than to bait the lions in their den... and they should have had the good sense to let it pass with a minor warning.
Idiocy on both sides.
The whole thing is like that; the more I learn about the "new" security the more I remember that old line about "selling the sizzle, not the steak".
I guess I'd better hope the bad guys are susceptible to Madison Avenue techniques.
