Michael,
I clearly said ASK, not DEMAND, and I certainly didn't say anything about "threatening the inspectors". Why are you making these things up that I clearly didn't say? I didn't write the law, and the law IS the law, whether you, or the inspectors, like it or not.
Anyway, the LAW states that they have to comply with your request. In fact, I have asked, been denied, and then asked to speak with a supervisor...and asked again, denied...and pointed out that the FAA regulations do state that I am entitled to it...and he checked, came back appologized, and took care of it with no problem. Note, this was prior to 9/11. That is the only time I've been hassled about hand inspection. It was in Atlanta returning to Boston.
