#1 I just tried to address my concerns and voice it on YouTube...Somebody obviously has to address the issue...Really, the only way this news story got traction is because of the government's response.

Bullshit! There are more appropriate channels to address concerns regarding "security" then broadcasting raw, behind the scenes footage on YouTube. Besides, this guys primary concern obviously isn't about a potential saftey breech by the ground crew . He' just pissed becuase he faces tighter restrictions then the grunts. And chances are if he didn't have to be screened he wouldn't give a rip about the protocol for the flight crew. Bottom line, the pilot violated his trust and obligations by disclosing potentially sensitive security information. The TSA was correct to strip him of his Federal Flight Deck Officer credentials and firearm. Also, CCW permits are a priviledge not a right and this guy is under Federal investigation- dems da rules boys. Some may view this guy as a "whistle blower" and others may see this simply as sour grapes. But there is no denying that many would have a compeltly diffrent opinion if this guys name was Mahmoud.
