"They absolutely tear everything apart inside the flight bag,
every piece of professional literature, flight manuals, head sets,
they empty the overnight bag. It's being scrutinized at a level I
have never seen in over 25 years of flying."
Source: Anonymous crew member on UAL Flight 200,
from LAX to Dulles. The Washington Times quotes the ALPA, which
says that flight has been deemed a "flight of interest" by the TSA.
Crew members have to endure a second round of security screening,
which includes an invasive inspection of their personal belongings.
The aircraft is "sanitized" before each flight and even the pilot
briefer is being followed around by a security detail.
