this is quite the retarded story.

talk about an overreaction, this pilot's life is now destroyed because he made a sarcastic comment and because 90% of the people in this world are god damn idiots. i heard on the local news that he said something to the effect of "why worry about tweezers, when i could crash the plane." i know its not the smartest thing to say, but to have charges brought against him and lose his pilot's liscence? that's just f**ing ridiculous.

yea talk about overreacting, and he was correct... i mean he's the freaking pilot for god's sake, i don't think you have to worry about his nail clippers when he has direct control of the plane anyways.

It's what you get with the idiots in Washington! We should be using racial profiling, if you are an Arab male, you will be searched, and a background check before you get on a plane, if you are Arab, and are upset about it, be upset at your comrades that started the war on terroism!

That's the dumbest idea I've heard yet regarding airport security.

the thing that got me was, i saw it on philly's 3 news channels as their top story. and every person they inteviewed in the airport thought it was right that he was arrested for making an "innapropriate comment."

Agreed.

I was surprised to see pilots getting checked for security as well. I'm not supposed to trust the pilot of my plane, but I can trust the baggage handlers checking him for security? Just seems pretty ludicrous to me.

No, but saying you have a gun on a plane is just like screaming fire in a crowded movie theater.. its illegal.

I'm familiar with yelling 'fire' in a crowd and riot inciting speech, but this "inappropriate speech" is different. (The tweezers comment, not the 'I have a gun comment')

1. He wasn't on the plane.
2. He didn't say he had a gun, actually we don't know what he said.
3. I think it's stupid if he actually loses his license or anything further for most cases zero tolerance = zero intelligence.

What he said is 100% true, tweezers are not exactly a big problem since any pilot can crash the plane, he just stated a fact.

<<I don't regret the deaths, of our enemy! I regret the fact that we haven't killed millions of people that are the enemy of the US!>>

How about somebody getting arrested and possibly heavily fined and send to jail for running a DC program on a couple of PC's?

It's all possible in the USA....
