Whiny pilots, they should just shut up and subject themsleves to the same shit that we should be objecting to...
The whiny pilot should be not allowed to have frigging mouthwash in his bag because he might be able to do something theoretically scary with it, unlike the gun he's actually authorized to have in the cockpit.
The crash ax he/she has access to is no big deal if we make sure that don't have toenail clippers or butter knives. Though in truth, if a pilot was really freaking out, they don't need a weapon, they have control of the freaking plane.
They should just shut up and deal with it like the rest of us.
That would make them tough and manly. Unwhiny.
In truth, it is the pilots that are objecting to the fact that cargo is NOT inspected. It is the pilots that are objecting to the fact that there are a gazillion "contract" employees that have access to all parts of the airplane that do not have to have background checks and do not have to go through security.
All we see is for SHOW and mostly bullshit.
