They need full body scanners and enhanced pat downs. Every once in a while the problems there seem bigger, sometimes smaller. I don't have a good feeling about this.

I sure wouldn't clear a spot out of our rotation just for him. I'd with with Sale first, and then Pena before I would count on Bmac. ^^^^ x2

Another day begins. Another chance to change lives. Instead I think I'll put on a movie and catch up on grading.

In a round of interviewing with the various and many department heads, someone asked what I thought of the color scheme in the waiting room. Seems I hit a home run when my answer centered around how customers and vendors would perceive the company based on the image it was portraying. I still thought it was a stupid question.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 22, 2010 -> 08:39 AM) So here's a scenario that I just thought about. What if a potential terrorist used a prosthetic penis made from real skin and filled it with whatever they were trying to sneak onto the plane? Would the backscatter see through the fake penis? Couple that with some items hidden in their anal cavity and now you've just let someone on board with who knows what. I could see it now. They send a couple of test subjects through with nothing in the prosthetic to see if they get pulled aside. Terrorists have used fake penises, we have to check all penises to be certain they are real or the terrorists win!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 06:26 PM) Disagree. The single best thing they did to secure planes, they already did - make the door nearly impossible to penetrate. If they have enough firepower to get through that door, then the a pilot with a pistol is hopeless. Further, I simply do not trust someone with virtually no training with a gun in a cockpit. It just won't go well. What if it's the unarmed navigator that is trying to take over the plane? Earlier you were worried about an armed pilot taking over the plane, how about an unarmed member of the crew? BTW, the flight deck officer rating is also available to the co-pilot or navigator.

It just won't go well. Disagree on the no training. It seems like a pretty decent training program. Now back in 2008 one piloy had a little problem stowing his guyn and there was an accidental misfire, but no one was hurt and the plane returned safely.

my oh my children, kindergarten is the place for this

could not resist the salmon, asparagus, and jasmine rice we prepared tonight. Now onto the full moon event at our local wold birding sanctuary

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 05:20 PM) Not at all. Is a pilot an air marshall? The intent is not for the pilot to enter the cabin and act in that capacity. The intent of the program is the final chance that a planeload of passengers may have against a terrorist attack. If the terrorists breech the cabin door, is it in the passengers' best interest to have an armed or unarmed pilot? I don't see how any conclusion other than armed could be reached.

Future historians will ponder the value of this thread and why there are so many posts.

f***, or maybe Obama didn't. I can't find much info on the program, other than TSA seems to oppose it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Flight_Deck_Officer

oops, Obama may have ended the Federal Flight Deck Officers Program, which leads me to wonder, are pilots more of a potential problem, or an ally, in our fight for absolute safety on airplanes?
