1: BA boss attacks US airport checks

Give me an f...ing break! A brit is complaining about US screeners? How about those power tripping jerks over in Britain? I'm a crewmember. He thinks it's unnecessary for US screeners to check laptop computers? How about their harassment of working crewmembers? You think it's necessary to take Tabasco sauce and lotion away from a crewmember who has gone through background checks and FBI finger printing? Those brit screeners try to pick a fight with you even when you tell them to take their belongings and be done with it so you can get on with your business. They get aggressive when you don't protest. This Broughton needs to take a look at his own country's draconian, power trippin', no longer empire havin' airport security shortcomings before he goes blasting the US or any other country.

AMEN! UK is the worst by far of any country I have been to. I avoid it like the plague! They treat the crews worse than the passengers. But isn't it nice to know that even though they trust you with a 400,000 lb airplane with 150,000 lbs of fuel, it is necessary to confiscate your shampoo. The crowning blow is when someone with a towel wrapped around his head frisks YOU instead of the other way around.
