    Default Pilot in Hot Water for Exposing Security Flaws

    An anonymous 50-year-old airline pilot is in hot water with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) after posting on YouTube a behind-the-scenes tour of what he says are security flaws at San Francisco International Airport.

    While airplane passengers go through security screening -- such as with metal detectors, full body scanners and pat downs -- the pilot shows in one of several video clips, recorded with his cell phone, that airport employees at SFO simply swipe a card to go through an unmanned door.

    I am sure he had good intentions, but why go public with the info then? I am sure he could have contacted the head of security or even the airport senior management to let them know of his (legit) concerns

    They probably already knew and were good with it. (After all, somebody had to define and approve the process.)

    Airline "security" has always been and is a joke. It is about people control and greed. Nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
