ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Aviation expert Denny Kelly says “the FAA badge of all the badges is probably the most dangerous of any other.”
An NBC5 investigation reveals over the past 5 years, 112 FAA aviation inspector badges have been stolen or lost.
Denny Kelly says “with that badge you can get in the cockpit in flight.”
Former commercial pilot, now private investigator, Denny Kelly points out those FAA badges can give a person free and uninterrupted access to nearly every secure area of an airport.
Denny Kelly says “the FAA allows you to not only get on one airline and through security it allows you on any airline any airplane anyplace.””
Lovely...
Thanks for the heads up.
