[ RadSafe ] TSA: Pilots to be exempt from some airport checks

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

Two points:

1) Many things were reported on 9/11 that turned out not to be true (and
indeed, many things continue to circulate that have been debunked).  If
someone is going to claim that some of the hijackers were dressed as
pilots (which certainly was possible) I would expect them to be able to
point to evidence to support it.

2) The new rules for pilots require them to produce two pieces of ID,
one government issued and one airlines issued (I believe both need to be
picture IDs).  I believe the IDs are then going to be checked against a
database that will verify not only that the person is a pilot, but that
they are scheduled to fly from that airport that day.  

It is not possible to stop an attack by a very well organized group with
unlimited resources.  It is, however, possible to make it more
difficult, and thus prevent and deter less sophisticated attacks.  We
still have a fair amount of low hanging fruit available, as the
underwear bomber demonstrated.

HUHHHHHHHHHHHH?????
They didn't check pilots then, and we all know what happened, so we
aren't 
going to check them now again?

I need a full explanation of this line of thought!

Of course everything as we know it was different the morning of 9/11. 
Apples and oranges today.

I feel safe now.

Oh except for one thing: on 9/11, at least one hijacker in each crew was

dressed as a pilot, and actually invited into the cockpit to witness 
takeoff, from the jump seat. This was reported only once or twice in the

early morning hours of 9/11.
