This guy was flying from Memphis to Houston so he could go to work. He wasn’t even in uniform - he was just another passenger. I am the last person to advocate for TSA; I fly a lot (much of it overseas) and I can tell you the system here is a mess. But this guy was out of line - one day he’ll look back on when he was a commercial pilot - his career is over.

How was he out of line? Not that being a pilot gave him any advantage. Why should anyone go through the WBI?
I know someone who has a pacemaker. It is an absolute nightmare going through the so-called security.

Who is loading the beverage cart, while you strip down to your underwear?

Illegel aliens, more than likely.

You think this screening is anything more than a joke?

“He wasn’t even in uniform - he was just another passenger. “

Right in the article it says:

“Roberts, who was in his pilot’s uniform,...”

Sheesh.

That asinine statement brought an immediate feeling of outrage in me and that is a very rare occurrence for me.

May you wear your chains lightly. No reply is needed and will not be responded to.
