Interesting. Just how did Hamza evade secuity to such an extensive degree. Hmmmm. Thanks Cindy.
SPRINGFIELD, MO -- The former superintendent of a trucking school in West Plains pleaded guilty on Thursday for his role in a scheme to help immigrants get unearned commercial drivers licenses. Dean Proffitt ran the South Central Career Center, which closed after a federal investigation found citizens of Bosnia and Somalia were given passing grades without completing their driving exams. Proffitt is the eighth person to plead guilty in the case.
Edited news release from the U.S. attorney’s office:
“These defendants shirked their responsibility to help safeguard the public and protect national security through their roles in the licensing process,” said John Wood, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri. “This scheme provided commercial driver’s licenses to foreign nationals who did not meet minimum training requirements.”
Dean Proffitt, 73, of West Plains, pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge James England this morning to the charge contained in a federal indictment on Sept. 20, 2006. Proffitt admitted that, from Nov. 1, 2003, to Feb. 6, 2006, he counseled and encouraged co-defendant Orbin May, 64, of West Plains, and others to defraud the West Plains School District. Proffitt was the superintendent of South Central Career Center (SCCC) truck driving school in West Plains. SCCC, which is no longer in operation, was part of the West Plains School District, which had a contract with Missouri to be a “third party tester” of persons seeking to take the driving portion of the Missouri Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) test. May was one of the persons whom Proffitt supervised at SCCC to administer the CDL driving test.
May had an agreement with co-defendant Ernest White, also known as Mustafa, 50, of Kansas City, Mo., who operated Muslim Brothers and Sisters (MBS), a trucking company that operated a truck driving training school in Kansas City, for May to give preferential treatment to students of White’s truck driving school. White had an agreement with May to permit White’s students to take CDL driving tests on Saturdays or Sundays, contrary to the CDL testing contract between SCCC and the Missouri Department of Revenue or state regulations.

OPINION-SPECULATION:
HMMMM...One could speculate and maybe even be right. One wouldn’t want to make the jihadis paranoid, though. Better they just chit chat, chit chat until someone locates them.
