Airline Pilot Criticizes TSA Security... Federal Marshall's and Sheriff arrive at his home.

Sacramento-area pilot punished for YouTube video


SACRAMENTO, CA - An airline pilot is being disciplined by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for posting video on YouTube pointing out what he believes are serious flaws in airport security.

The 50-year-old pilot, who lives outside Sacramento, asked that neither he nor his airline be identified. He has worked for the airline for more than a decade and was deputized by the TSA to carry a gun in the cockpit.

Three days after he posted a series of six video clips recorded with a cell phone camera at San Francisco International Airport, four federal air marshals and two sheriff's deputies arrived at his house to confiscate his federally-issued firearm. The pilot recorded that event as well and provided all the video to News10

that this is nothing more than a farce??? the gall! :sarcasm:

if he really wants to scare the hell out of people and make a mockery of the TSA he should start a flight in a small airport...make the first leg private...see what he can get on a plane then...

3. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
You must not speak against the authorities.

We only have the illusion of protection.
