Actually, a phone number for the USSS is listed on the first page (with the rest of the emergency numbers) in every phone book I've ever seen. How hard could it have been to get a number?
But I have two other questions. One: Did the agent pull a Rep. Issa and get to airport late enough so that a check was difficult to do?
And two, if the agent was stopped by problems with his paperwork, his gun et al. at the gate, how the dickens did the agent get by the screeners?
The pilot had 90 minutes to check out this Agent. I guess you have to get to the Airport real early to get a weapon on board in the best of times. In this case he was transfered to another flight because of mechanical problems. The Gate attendent scratch out the number and put the new one down. I still do not know who responsibility it is to fill out this form since the Gate Attendent changed the form. None of the accounts have said who was responsible to fill out the form.
