Lakeland, FL (PRWEB) September 12, 2005

Aircraft pilots and passengers are fully compatible than the perceived safety of the airline. A recent report card issues airline pilots association has Airlines coalition a resounding “F” for a variety of air safety. While 80-95 per cent of passengers thought Airlines has improved security to the point where they feel safe.

Thus, the “F” for safety and the “A” placebo effect, as the Americans apparently feel are regularly patted down, de-shod and poked at the “safety stick” means the airline is safer. Of course, the pilots are in a better position to know the true situation with regard to security and they did not even bother to throw Airlines “feel good” D efforts.

According to the report, airline security is a spectacularly bad considering billions have been spent since 2001, and we seem to be no safer than we were now and then. It should be obvious to anyone who has gone through airport security at the corpse of State.

airport inspectors are busy, all right. They are busy patting people down and using their magic nail clipper hill detection, to ensure that no potential terrorists are on board with anything sharper than a tennis ball plane. (Although I suspect Venus Williams, armed with bats and the ball would take down the plane if she really wanted.)

The problem is, the airport controllers seem particularly interested in the following categories: 1) older age, 2) breast-feeding mothers, 3) celebrities such as David Brenner and Andy Rooney, and 4) my friend Libby, who always wears the color scarf on her head.

My 79-year-old father-in-law is an advanced selection of practically every time he flies. (Maybe it has something James Bond-esque disguise his cane.) Meanwhile, in healthy young potential terrorists would be able to pass, newspapers, and near the emergency exit.

I do not know what percentage of people get pulled out for the super wand and pat-down experience (sans shoes and belt), but we can say the benefit of argument, it is a fourth, or we had to be relieved that only 75 percent of our passengers boarded the plane smuggling

Here are some security issues found in the pilots union statement:. “explosives” and baggage screening has improved, but not always detected (explosive revelation, I’d say). U.S. car doors are reinforced, but it is not authorized by the foreign carriers or cargo planes. (News flash: “cargo planes can fly into buildings as easily as a commercial aircraft.) Air marshals: as rare as the entire airline meal. Crew training: spotted, no safety training for all staff of cargo. Threat intelligence: the pilots are not “need to know” list. Passenger screening: no explosives. Airline Employee Selection: Haha! Cargo Selectivity: They do not.

General aviation is virtually unregulated when it comes to security. FAA Issues “deals” that can be safely ignored! One expert pointed out that many non-commercial aircraft and airports are not locked, and often sits there with the keys in the ignition. So, anyone who has a little flight training and intimate knowledge “of the” switch can go Joyride. Or Terror-Ride, which could include the buzzing of their local high school, or a nuclear power plant.

Do not worry. I am not reveal anything the terrorists do not know. They watch the news shows as well.

Other safety problems include Lax screening of airport employees. I can personally vouch that one, as I was working at an airport a few months in 1998, and completed his pepper spray My purse all the time! Employees who work in maintenance or food service basically have carte blanche, if someone wants to pay them to leave “something” somewhere, or even sabotage of food poisoning if they are the kinda mood. What can be planted nefarious employee – Bombs? Boxcutters? Botulism spores? What is terrorism menu.

airport boundaries are not well protected, either. If someone wants to create a shoulder-fired missiles, they can easily create Hollywood-style fireball after take-off.

so many rich opportunities for terrorists, that you just can not think about them, or you will never air. So fly the friendly skies, people hoping they will not skyjacked planes, blown up or diverted to Baltimore. It is also 20 million people live in the land of giant crack in California, and assume they are safe, because everyone else is here. ” 20 million people can not be wrong, can they? And hey, the airline said that more than 10 years, passenger travel in the United States will jump by more than 50 percent of a billion people every year. It makes me feel even safer!

FAA air should behave the way parents treat their children. The first “F” in school is unacceptable. Naughty Airlines may be grounded until those grades come up. And while they’re in it, that the cabin is a mess
