n Tuesday night Tucker Carlson explained how Joe Biden’s regulations are causing hundreds of flights to be canceled or delayed across the US. Last week the FAA notified all air traffic employees that people who haven’t had the vax, the COVID vaccine that doesn’t work, they have to wear masks on the job. And, once again, this has nothing to do with ‘the science.’ This is just another of the tyrannical actions the government bureaucrats came up with to punish fellow Americans who do not believe their nonsense. As Tucker explained, this affected about 4,000 of the 15,000 total air...

Anyone know how TSA-approved luggage locks work?

Dear Mr. Airline Executive, (...or an assistant who monitors the web for intel.)

Rogue federal agency ruins holiday travelIn good news for weary travelers, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has announced a cut back in the number of boys and girls it will grope over the holidays. The bad news is that agency bureaucrats made the same promise after last year’s Turkey Day. It wasn’t true then, either. Videos posted on YouTube showing young children subjected to strip searches during Thanksgiving 2010 touched off a firestorm of criticism. TSA Administrator John S. Pistole was hauled before Congress for an explanation. “The bottom line is few people in the overall scheme of things will...

In light of the TSA's new body scans and other outrageous violations of our freedom and liberty I thought everyone would enjoy this parody.

A crocodile stashed in a duffel bag got loose on an airplane, frightened passengers and led to a crash that killed 20 people on board, according to an inquiry into the accident. The lone survivor of the crash in the Democratic Republic of Congo told the story to investigators, the U.K.’s Telegraph reported on Thursday. A British pilot was among the dead. The plane was on a routine domestic flight from the capital of Kinshasa to a regional airport in Bandundu when the bizarre tale unfolded on Aug. 25. An unnamed passenger had hidden the crocodile in a large duffel...

During his first court appearance, the man who police say caused a SkyWest plane to make an emergency landing asked the judge if he was a "normal person." Matthew Kleindorfer, 32 years-old from Las Vegas, seemed unresponsive and confused during Tuesday's arraignment. The judge had to read Kleindorfer his rights twice, since he wasn't sure if he heard him. Kleindorfer is accused of trying to storm the cockpit during Sunday's flight from Helena, MT to Salt Lake City, ID. He allegedly told flight crews he was a space alien and needed to fly the plane. Police say Kleindorfer was still...

PARIS Cabin crew members at Air France said on Sunday they would continue with a strike that brought misery to thousands of travelers at Paris airports over the weekend. The company said it expected "major costs" as a result of the dispute. "The cost is very important," Air France Chief Operating Officer Pierre-Henri Gourgeon told French TV station LCI. He added there were no precise estimates at the moment for what the financial cost might be. A joint statement by various trade unions representing more than 60 percent of Air France flight attendants said the strike would go on until...

The federal agency in charge of aviation security is considering major changes in how it screens airline passengers, including proposals that, an official said, would lift the ban on carrying razor blades and small knives as well as limit pat-down searches. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will meet later this month to discuss the plan, which is designed to reduce checkpoint hassles for the nation's 2 million passengers. The agency proposed the changes after its new chief, Edmund S. Hawley, called for a broad review in hopes of making airline screening more passenger-friendly. An initial set of staff recommendations drafted...

"Southwest Airlines is under fire for its policy of charging overweight passengers for two tickets if they spill over into their neighbor's seat."
