news:JHf_a.129888$o%2.56515@sccrnsc02... I have found the few times that I have flown on the airlines recently that security is inconsistant. To put it mildly. Yesterday, three people accidentally beached a fishing raft at JFK and then walked for a mile along a runway without being noticed! (The airport is "concerned" about the security lapse.) http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Northeast...ers/index.html |

Again, this is "enhanced security." Yeah, the FAA is pretty meat headed about prescriptions. They would rather pilots not take their meds or lie about it -- doesn't make sense. If a 70 year old grandmother can land a Cessna, what's the problem with someone taking lipitor or nexium or prozac? There are pilots with missing eyes and limbs for gosh sakes. How many accidents do we know for sure have been caused by banned meds or by medical problems at all? What do you think about this, doctor? The issue about passengers on part 121 flights carrying medicine goes to the issue of air travel privacy. Do we turn the security checkpoint into a one stop shopping police check point to look for deadbeat dads and other societal miscreants? Ted |

If they catch you lying, you will never be PIC again. George Patterson They say that nothing's certain except death and taxes. The thing is, death doesn't get worse every time Congress goes into session. Will Rogers |

This one, so I understand, is pending approval. Interesting. If that regulation had been in effect prior to 9/11, the plane that went down in Pennsylvania would have taken out part of DC.
