In my experience, the pilot IS concerned with everything on the plane. The point A to B is TSA's deal....and they're right. In my experience, these pilots aren't wimps who just want to sit in the cockpit, no no....they're smart.

Here's how smart they are: There is a terrorist attack on the plane. The pilot, knowing the co-pilot can fly the plane and he can handle these humpheads better than ANY air marshall or federal agent, stays inside the cockpit. Why? Because he's smart.....very smart. He knows that if he's overtaken, that leaves only the co-pilot.

Now, the co-pilot is very smart too. He knows he can handle any situation that arises in life. Still, he stays in the cockpit. Why? Because he's very smart. He knows that if he's overtaken, that leaves only the terrorist to fly the plane. And...he knows terrorists are terrible pilots.

Very smart these pilots and TSA people. THey think inside the box - where ALL the historical and empirical information available to us resides.
