Pilot Gets Angry at Airport Security, Exposes Himself

Airport security is frustrating. There's a pleasant mix of incompetence on both sides (I've actually seen a woman try to walk through a metal detector talking on her cell phone before) that causes unbelievable delays in getting through to the airport.


For pilots though, it's usually not a big deal. They walk right through, usually (right??). Not the guy in charge of captaining a flight out of London City Aiport this week though. He was asked to take his shoes and belt off like everyone else and he did not respond, um, well.
“He pulled down his trousers and pants to completely expose himself, then turned to the security guard and asked angrily, ‘Do you want to search this?’”
Wow. That's not an awkward scene at all. Mercifully, it went down at the East London's terminal downstairs, which is apparently not used by the public, so no children were harmed in the indecent public exposure incident. 

For whatever reason, The Sun doesn't have the pilot's name in the report, only the flight he was on, but it's pretty safe to say that he won't be cruising the friendly skies anytime soon.
