Spent the day with online friends from Israel. Had a great time and sad to see them go even though we met in person for the first time today. He is a retired airline security chief and international airline security consultant with interesting views of our TSA. From his perspective we need to stop putting out security fires, stop treating everyone the same and begin addressing the source of our security risks. In other words stop worrying about guns in pilots shoes, stop making 90 yr old women removing their depends and begin realistic threat profiling.
Much like my limited experience here, always great meeting someone you "know" online.
