I'm curious about this death threat you say you reported. When was it made and by whom?
Did the SS do something about it right away or did they take your name and number and get back with you?
I'm glad you are able to get in easy at the White House. I've never had any luck, at least under Clinton.
Barbara Olsen had problems getting to the right people in our government and she was on a hijacked plane.
Im a little late in responding because I got busy and wanted to check to see if my memory and the facts were in agreement. When you get to be a certain age, your memory starts to go.
From the text of the Captains statement: I then had the Maryland Airport authority police determine his proper ID by calling the Secret Service as to his legitimate status. This took about ten minutes to complete. In the interim I was given a third improperly filled out AA form E2 While the police were determining the proper status of this individual this person came up to me with loud abusive comments as to his being denied boarding.
The Police officer who was very helpful was officer (redacted).
From the SOC Managers Statement: The next phone call I received was from the AA ticket agent at BWI. He said that the Secret Service Agent had verbally abused the Captain and the Captain was denying him boarding. I asked to speak to the Police Officer that was witness to this, who then verified what the ticket agent had stated. Based in this, I then decided to end boarding to this passenger.
The SOC Manager went on to explain that he made this decision without knowing the racial characteristics of the SS agent.
Every other case has been handeled with a five minute phone call except this one. WHY???
I have not idea what every other case you are referring to, but here we have testimony of two airline employees who refer to gate agents and police officers who can corroborate their testimony.
Now I have a question for you: why are you trying to tear down a pilot in order to protect a self-important jerk who let his position as a member of the Presidents security detail go to his head? Or, as you say WHY????
