I certainly don't want to throw darts, Coop, but if an illegal can take flight lessons for *only* 2 1/2 years before being reported, then you had best keep out of tall buildings.
Any illegal who wanted flight lessons from me would be talking to Customs in about 15 seconds, and I'm not kidding.
If you had the bucks for simulator time, and the smarts, you would be able to handle a triple 7 in way less time than that.
Is it possible he had falsified papers?
Bill,
I'd also like a ping, please, if you come up with some additional data on this guy. Coop may believe otherwise, but I'm with the majority here - the system did NOT work . . . . . at least not in the way that I believe that it was intended.
By the same token, I see on Drudge that the TSA is dismantling - long overdue. IMO, it should never have "mantled" except that Bush caved to a stupid challenge issued by Daschle. Hopefully, we will soon see the last of this pointless and bloated agency.
