Breitbart had his vid up for a while, but they pulled it. Now I know why.
Grab your ankles, chump.
Yep, they have video cameras all over the place filming US, but don’t ever, EVER film them. You have been properly warned.
The KING is angry.
What about regular video cameras? I have shot scenes from planes with my video camera in the past (prior to 2005) and no one said a word.
As I said to another federal bureaucrat who was insisting on giving me an answer that contradicted with reality: I accept your authority to give me an answer that has zero credibility.
Their is a fairly famous aviation writer who in essence told the FAA what to do and the horse they rode in on, and now he gets the full shaboygan, but I am not sure about the cavity search.
It is true, piss them off and they will squish you like a bug.
Can you even run a laptop and do work while you fly?
I so hate flying now, and if you knew my background, and how I was part of the industry it breaks my heart to see what has happened. It was on purpose IMHO, it is all about demoralizing us and making us feel like we have no say or liberty, do as I say.
I have been ordered to turn off my wireless mouse and keyboard twice recently while we were in the above 10,000 feet all clear zone. Since is clearly absurd but their position is screw you. It would inconvenience us to spend the time to prove that a wireless mouse is not a danger.
On the other hand airline-provided-for-a-fee WI-FI is just fine, supposedly.
Uh, no, the Ipad couldn't.
Not in a million years.
All these schmucks are doing with this heavy handed nonsense is breeding contempt.
Before I read the posts, let me say that those absurd electronics rules are AIRLINE rules, not government regulations.
(If any device were capable of harming navigation is left on, it would and should be contraband on board. (I’d estimate that 10% of all such devices are on at all prohibited times).
This whole thing is stoopit.
1st off. Cables are shielded to protect against EMF. Why? because there are a million miles packed into that thong you are flying and they all bleed EMF so the insulation contains the electronic waves are contained in the sheathing.
2nd. I know it total BS because I have private for the last 10 years and they never so much as wiser a word about turning off our cell phones, which are contained constantly clicking as we text friends about our, the fun we had on the trip or making transportation will be at the end of the wing when we land.
I have been in full on conversations conducting business as the plane soars down the runway or while landing.
Gameboboys, IPad’s, IPod’s, etc all stay on use and no one says boo.
So why is this rule still an issue for commercial? Control and superstition
Oh’ my qualifications are:
I have been in telecom for 30 years and installed structured cable in campus environments, data centers and even a battleship..
Time to run up the BS flag.
FAA is forgetting for whom they work....
New York Air Controllers Slept, Watched Movies, U.S. Says

(Updates with New York data starting in second paragraph.)
May 8 (Bloomberg) — Air-traffic controllers in the New York area slept on the job, watched movies, left work early and repeatedly violated safety rules, a U.S. investigative agency told the White House and Congress.
Controllers at the facility that monitors traffic around New York, the busiest U.S. metropolitan flight corridor, also used “careless and casual language” with pilots, leading to at least one serious incident of planes getting too close, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which investigates whistle-blower complaints, said today in a letter.
