This is what the sheeple should be more concerned about, instead of applauding the TSA for forcing them through scanners and sticking its hands down their pants.

Sleepiness is a huge problem for airline pilots, study finds

Results from a major study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation suggest airline pilots are some of the sleepiest transportation workers in the country, along with train operators.

One in four pilots and train operators surveyed for the study admitted that sleepiness has affected their job performance at least once a week, compared to about 17 percent of non-transportation workers.

And a significant number of pilots and train operators say that sleepiness has caused safety problems on the job. Of the pilots surveyed, 20 percent admitted that they have made a serious error because of sleepiness. About 18 percent of train operators — either an engineer or conductor — likewise reported they’ve had a “near miss” due to sleepiness. The study, released last week, has a high confidence level of 95 percent.
