He was non revving from Columbia, doubt KCM had anything to do with it.

The technique he used would get through any TSA checkpoint anyway.

Yeah, but anyway a pilot smuggling drugs is pretty serious. If we continue to see crew members getting caught up in illegal stuff, it may give TSA reason to revisit KCM.

I think we're safe as long as it's not weapons or terrorism.

Very few pilots actually do this kid of thing, so we're not likely to see an epidemic of known crew smugglers.

Oh, ok.....I'm just wondering out loud what the reaction had been had it been a FA accused of the same crime......(NOT directed at you, rick, as you're
usually a voice of reason around here).

This in my opinion is correct. I did a thesis paper on this back in the 90's and I couldn't agree more. Let Darwin sort it out.

Yup, and I do believe there was a pilot or two who did the same thing....

Geez ya Loon, that's crazy talk. Read what I wrote again before accusing me of "defending" a drug smuggling airline pilot.
