do I really have to say it???
I find it interesting that the pilot’s union can’t help him here. Oops, the union only protects you when you do something blatantly incompetent or dangerous. When you do something to make the bosses or agency look bad, you’re SOL.
Drip, drip, drip.........then what?
The fed is clearly over reaching day in and day out.
How much more will We The People tolerate?
Well that explains why every time I see TSA my mind reads it as Stasi
They searched the guys friggin’ house!!
If Julian Assange had released it they would be fawning all over him.
Will this pilot’s efforts/sacrifice result in anything positive for airport security? Where’s the ALCU or like civil libertiis advocates?
This man may well have saved lives. I thank him for his bravery and sense of honor.
Totalitarian SOB’s
Case study in how to take a minor annoyance and make it HIT THE BIG TIME IN A BUG WAY. Way to go idiots, speaking of every dang official and officer involved in this.
Yup, strictly Bush league.
I think it’s wrong to publicize a systematic analysis of security flaws of a sensitive place.
Even if his analysis is wrong, do we want insiders to reveal vulnerabilities to YouTube audiences?
With military systems and some locations, revealing exploitable vulnerabilities is a no-no. Usually Top Secret or more.
If he had real concerns, there are ways to address them without showing people how best to have a Sudden Jihad Moment, or even how best to steal luggage or smuggle cash or securities.
As for losing his CCW and flight deck gun, someone might have imagined that someone using a camera to document vulnerabilities and security flaws at an airport could be a security threat. If this were an ROP member who did the video, many would agree that it’s a threat- but there are other people who might case a location to help plan some unpleasant event.
Everyone already knows that there is a HUGE hole in security where a person with access to baggage or the airplanes can easily sneak someone or something onto the airplane. Hell, a 16 year old boy managed to stow away on an airplane in Virginia and NOBODY saw him. They just found his body along the flight path near the airport in Massachusetts and figured out what he did.
Who’s going to stop them?
But, but, but... I heard BIG SIS FAT A$$ tell us: “See something, say something!” Oh, wait... That’s not what she meant? She meant for Americans to spy on each other? Oh...
TSA... Those Skinhead A-holes
TSA... Terrorists Searching Americans
TSA... Treason Strikes Again
TSA... They Shoot Americans
TSA... This Sh*t Again?
TSA... Threats Seizures and Arrests
So the FedGov sends six agents to take his gun away but it takes his own airline to ask that he take down the Youtube video!?! Clearly the Fed’s problem with him has nothing to do with security.
do I really have to say it??? The sheriff also revoked his concealed carry permit.
This is especially outrageous with the news of the *trusted traveler* fiasco involving Mexicans.
I wonder how many Americans can get that kind of clearance? Is it available to US as well as them?
At my work we get certificates and Kudos candy bars for telling the higher ups about something that concerns us.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
We’re paying millions of dollars for nothing at all. A sham.
