'This was an egregious breach of our nation's air traffic security': Brooklyn district attorney slams gun smuggling ring that allowed 18 pistols and ammunition to get past TSA in Atlanta

**SNIP**

Thompson commented as he described a case brought against five people, including an airline baggage handler who was charged a day earlier by federal authorities in Atlanta.

Thompson said he was not trying to scare anyone. But he said it's 'truly frightening' what investigators learned after a probe that started as a way to reduce gun violence in Brooklyn.

He said former Delta Air Lines employee Mark Quentin Henry took guns aboard at least 17 commercial airliners this year from Atlanta to New York airports.

Prosecutors alleged in a release that 'During the course of the investigation it was discovered that Henry, whose mother is a retired Delta employee, traveled back and forth between Georgia and New York for a nominal fee by using his mother’s employee privileges, which allowed him to take unlimited flights for life.'

I'm pretty sure that's how Husseincare works.

Like ObamaCARE, there are two sets of Laws.

One, for the servants, the People, the voters.

The other for the EXEMPT and terrorists.

Another three or four managerial layers of unionized federal workers will certainly be needed to address this problem.

That airport has been controlled by the Mayor of Atlanta for Decades. There is no telling about the corruption, deception and who-knows-what-else has been happening.

Last time I flew I watched as a TSA employee at the check point pulled his phone and started texting.

Abusing the SIDA clearance has been the most obvious way to get around TSA since the agency was started.

Combined with TSAs bigoted and racist hiring practices - they crow about their workforce being majority non-white - it makes their entire effort a joke.

All thats going on out on the tarmac is a little gang banger party - anyone with a clue can see it from the jetway.

And will the Jamaican TSA affirmative action hire do anything about it?

Not my job Mon. Hes my brudda.

Not to overly racially stereotype, but guys like that carrying guns on planes don’t really scare me. It was just a line of work for him, could have just as easily been drugs. What SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME is that members of our favorite religion could have done the same and made 9-11 look like minor incident.
