Thank you for the flag. This is very disturbing information. If I am an FBI terrorism expert and I know a middle eastern man in the country illegally is trying to buy 757 time, even though he is not even a private pilot, I could reasonably conclude he was a threat. Why airlines and airline pilots were not advised of this development, I will never know or understand.

Perhaps, our entire country, including our security systems personnel became too complacent regarding threats on our soil. It was the "Won't happen here" mentality, even after the WTC bombing not that many years ago. How disappointing.
