[ RadSafe ] Pilots urged to avoid body scanning

[Jerry Cohen]

Assuming we have a crazy pilot determined to crash his plane killing all 
aboard---how could the airport screening process, with or without xrays, deter 
him???

Mike, the problem is that there are lunatic pilots that sometimes go crazy. 
Recall the Egyptian Air pilot who crashed his 767, as well as other troubled 
pilots who had emotional breakdowns prior to and during a flight. I agree there 
should be some modification, but whenever a process is relaxed, it can then be 
thwarted by those who are very smart individuals.

Regards,

Sandy

On the other hand, I agree with the USAPA spokesman about how silly it
is to apply the same security criteria to pilots as to passengers.
