One thing I don't understand is we have a crash ax in the cockpit that can do a lot more damage than a tiny pair of scissors in our rollaboard... or better yet, a yoke in our hands and a hunk of flying metal. Just doesn't make sense. Absolutely no logic behind it. |
The TSA doesn’t even know we have a crash axe. One of my captains said a TSA agent did an inspection on is aircraft one day and was flabbergasted when he saw the axe. He didn't try to confiscate it (surprisingly enough
) but mentioned that not he, nor any of his co-workers knew anything about axes in the flight deck. Maybe if someone explained to some powers that be in the TSA that we do have an axe up there, and some halon fire extinguishers (more than 3 ounces) and all sorts of things that can cause some damage, they might let us bypass security altogether. We should all just become FFDOs.
