But the point is: he was impersonating a pilot.

Security checks on the pilots are not attempting to prevent pilots from causing harm-- they are attempting to close a loophole which would allow people impersonating pilots to do harm.
- jacquesm 16y agoHow is scanning his body and frisking him going to help identifying him?
- michael_dorfman 16y agoIt's not going to help identify him. It's going to help limit the damage if somebody impersonates him, by making sure they don't have a bomb/gun/what-have-you. You do get this, don't you?
- borism 16y agoOf course he does, but he won't admit it because it dents his argument and won't get him any upvotes.

- bambax 16y agoHe was in uniform, maybe, but he was not in charge of flying anything that day. So he was a passenger that day (in a pilot uniform).

- stakent 16y agoAmong less or more technical means to clone somebodys fingerprints to fool the reader there is circumventing method involving the axe. I've heard this method was used in Asia by some car thieves.
