Pilot tells TSA to stuff it, calls it a “make work” program
Pilot Refuses Full-Body Scan, Says TSA Doesn’t Make Travel Safer
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (CBS/AP) – A Tennessee pilot who says he’s tired of being manhandled by security agents is waiting to see if he will lose his job because he refused a full body scan.
ExpressJet Airlines first officer Michael Roberts was chosen for the X-ray scan Friday at Memphis International Airport. The Houston-based pilot says he also refused a pat-down and went home.
The 35-year-old Roberts told The Commercial Appeal newspaper he wants to go to work and not be “harassed or molested without cause.”</em>
You know, I’d feel safer flying on this guys plane than some pilot who willing participates in the kubuki that is security in this country. Kudos to you sir.
