I assumed that the writer of this account was of a mind that it was a bad thing that a terrorist with credentials indicating he was a pilot was allowed in the cockpit of his airplane.
If my assumption was correct, it is rather idiotic to complain that he, a person carrying credentials that indicate he is a pilot, is bothered by security personnel who question him despite his having those same credentials Atta used to board his plane.
Most commercial pilots are too intelligent to make such an inane argument. I suppose it's possible that he is the exception to that rule, but I suspect he's not a pilot. He's just some guy on the internet.
Half of all the airline pilots graduate in the lower half of their class...:)
There seems to be some confusion here. The author is upset that a terrorist was in his jumpseat no matter how he got there. Or whether he used real or phony credentials.
What does that have to do with overly cautious procedures put into place AFTER the attacks?
Now showing that pilots were not faced with such scrutiny would be another matter.
