TSA Investigates Pilot Who Exposed Security Flaws 394
stewart_maximus writes "The TSA is investigating a TSA deputized pilot who posted videos to YouTube pointing out security flaws. Flaws exposed include ground crew clearing security with just a card swipe while pilots have to go through metal detectors, and a 'medieval-looking rescue ax' being available on the flight deck. Three days after posting the video, 6 government officials arrived at his door to question him and confiscated his federal firearm (and his concealed weapon permit)."

What are you going to DO about this
I'm not go to America. Yeah I'd love to go there for sightseeing or a shopping trip but there is no way I want to be involved in any part of this security theater.

If you still don't believe it, see Amendment 9 : "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

I'm an ex-TSO (airport security actor). No, we didn't get screened. The background check they do on us goes back 10 years. They want a paramilitary organization. They're very honest about that. They prefer to hire ex-military since they want people trained to not think but will follow commands. The problem is the work injures a lot of people and you're not paid much. The turn-over rate is high. That's what gets in people who aren't ex-military.
The smoking gun should do a section of mug shots from TSA employees arrested in uniform for stealing from passengers, getting DUIs and the like. That happens on a regular basis.
