Patrick Smith's Ask the Pilot

Please check out Patrick Smith's Ask the Pilot column on Salon.  (Salon is an online newsmagazine published in San Francisco.)  Smith, a pilot, is a good writer, with very interesting insights into the airline industry.  He's very unapologetic, passionate about his career, and above all, smart.  Smith is a keen critic of how airport security is managed in the United States and has a number of ideas of how to make it better.  His column used to appear every other week, now it is published in blog format, with shorter more frequent entries.
