Our Tax Dollars Well Spent?
Ok...someone explain to me again how general aviation is a terrible threat, with all those people in those little airplanes who might cause such HORRENDOUS trouble, while the TSA sit on an email from some kid who says "gee, I'm a REAL THREAT" for FIVE WEEKS. I feel just SO SAFE! Don't you?
From the Washington Times (Note that I hardly ever read anything from that rag...but occasionally they put out something interesting :-))
A 20-year-old college student just made a mockery of Uncle Sam's 50,000 member airport security army. Nathaniel Heatwole of Damascus, Md., carried concealed weapons ¡ª including box cutters and dummy explosives ¡ª onto two flights, stashing the goods on airplanes where they remained hidden for many subsequent flights.
Mr. Heatwole e-mailed the Transportation Security, Administration informing them of his actions ¡ª but it took the TSA five weeks after receiving the e-mail before it began investigating.
