This trick will not work again.

I would tend to agree, but that won't get me flying again. These arabs have a tendancy to detonate themselves which certainly put's a dent in anyone's bravado! Until the TSA is shut down and the PC crowd accept's the profiling, my feet are firmly and permanently planted on the ground. Blackbird.

As a professional pilot, one who flies daily, I know many other pro pilots some of which fly for major airlines, it's no secret that the number of Federal Air Marshals is still painfully low.

It's still less than 5,000 total, we have just a tad over 65,000 commercial flights each day here in the US of A, you do the math...

I can't tell y'all how terrified I am. My job requires me to fly a LOT between March and October. I just got back from SF on Monday and have to fly to Montreal tomorrow. Fly back Monday and then to Toronto in 2 weeks. When I get back from there, it's back to California (then Wisconsin, then Atlanta).

This purely sucks! I sincerely hope it's disinformation. I agree with the poster above who said that the security procedures from airport to airport are not very consistent.

I am seriously considering quitting a very cool job because it's just too dang dangerous!
