Big Sis And The TSA Send The Stormtroopers

A pilot is in hot water for taking video of lax airport security and posting it on You Tube. The pilot was one of those blessed by the TSA to carry a firearm in the cockpit and he was upset that air crews have to go through security as a matter of safety when there are weapons like axes in the cockpit (and in his case, a federally issued firearm). He also pointed out that while flight crews are being checked in the name of security ground personnel who work at airports have unfettered access to aircraft through unmanned doors that require an electronic badge to access.

After the unnamed pilot posted the video he got a visit from stormtroopers sent by the TSA. The pilot is being investigated for exposing the security problems. The stormtroopers took his federally issued weapon (which they are entitled to do) but then confiscated his STATE issued permit to carry a weapon. What right does the federal government have to confiscate his conceal carry permit when he broke no weapons laws?

This is nothing more than Big Sis and her Gestapo trying to send message to others who would expose the failings of the TSA and DHS.

The stormtroopers were sent to tell everyone else that they should think twice about exposing the sham that hides under the name of airport security.

You will be slapped and slapped hard by the Gestapo.

And all because this guy rightly points out that he is required to go through security when they let him carry a weapon on the plane and there is a huge ax in the cockpit that would cause a lot more damage than a box cutter. He also points out that while the people who will be on the plane and flying it are subject to intense scrutiny a bunch of other folks have unfettered access.

He is absolutely right but he dared to say it and now the Gestapo will make him pay.

We are in a downward spiral.

Can someone tell me why this guy is in trouble for exposing these flaws that are secret but no one gets in trouble for exposing our national secrets?

Big Sis and her Gestapo need to go.
