Great observations. That more-ornate regulations and procedures firstmost and always reaction to ANYTHING new was also a hallmark of the FAA which begat the TSA.
Still, the pilot was right. It’s not the fear of these new regulations that the idiot bastards will quickly put in force in blindly vile reaction to this incident that must drive us, the sane, it is rather a whole intolerance for such bureaucratic reactionism, the culture and the bureaucracy that create, suckle and fester it. As such we must celebrate and support the pilot in this case.
“As such we must celebrate and support the pilot in this case.”
Well, clearly we disagree on this one, bvw, I think he made us less safe, mostly because TSA still won’t do anything.
Thank you for the discussion, I’m sure we’ll chat again.
