I meant to say these folks are the kind who do not prosecute hapless pilots.

See Denver. The controllers have to go thru the same TSA screening that
passengers do to get to work.


Yeah, but Denver could be a terrorist target. If you don't believe me, just
watch Jericho.



But the point is not only is the tower not way off on it's own, it
springs from the middle of the terminal.

Actually it doesn't. The control tower is at the base of the center
module of Concourse C, the farthest out from the terminal -- a little
under a mile north of the terminal. Concourse C is in the center of the
fully built out apron area, as the master plan calls for Concourses D
and E to be built to the north when needed.

That will change with the new tower, when is it scheduled to
begin construction?

There is no new tower contemplated at DEN, to my knowledge.

are they FAA lawyers, unionized or just plain old pigs?

Oddly enough, the Denver Enroute (ARTCC) isn't far from the
pig farms.

I used to do some consulting up there during the days of
Sector Suite (for those of you familiar with the $9B debacle)
