Pilot has flown $100 mil. plane 25 years, but TSA needs to search his groin
This quote in The St. Petersburg Times makes clear how thoroughly incompetent and untrustworthy the TSA is:
Commercial pilots like Fred Kopec of St. Petersburg couldn’t be convinced they should go through a body search no matter how hard the TSA sold it.
He’s been fingerprinted and run through criminal background checks. If a 25-year Delta Air Lines veteran like himself isn’t trustworthy, Kopec says, then who is?
“My God,” he says. “Delta entrusts me with a $100-million airplane to fly more than 200 people 5,000 miles across the Atlantic. It doesn’t make sense.”
Experts say a committed terrorist won’t be deterred by genital groping but will just smuggle a bomb where drug mules smuggle cocaine.
I sure hope they’re wrong because it’s pretty obvious what TSA’s knee-jerk response to an ass bomber will be. “YOU get a free rectal exam! YOU get a free rectal exam!”
