Become an FFDO

I'm getting ready to go thru the training.

Agreed.
A little intestinal fortitude is what is needed. We don't need the "tow the line" defeatist mentality anymore.

or "toe the line" even!

What I don't understand is the locals did not charge the pilot and the TSA can't charge the pilot, so who made the arrest and where and how was the alleged assailant taken into custody?

I was told by an FAA Ops Inspector that an altercation with a Blue Shirt can result in an immediate arrest, after which, you can be held for 120 days without being charged.

So much for Habeus Corpus. Orwell is laughing.

Beaufort resident. 22 years USMC. Airline Captain. My guess is they arrested a retired Marine LtCol fighter pilot for some sort of alleged assault. BS! Never happened. There is no way a person of that background would ever lose their cool over something as petty as the TSA. I agree with everybody else. It was some Barney Fife with a chip on his shoulder. What a bunch of crap.

If he had truly "assualted" this TSA idiot - we would have bloody hospital photos of the TSA bum.

"anybody can tell that I didn't assualt him"

HOW?

"Cause he looks too damn good, thats how!"

 

[ground stop]

couldn't "assault" be defined as giving the tsa guy a piece of your mind decorated with some nice verbs and adjectives? battery would be taking a swing at the d****bag?

Pretty sure he is a full bird.

What do chopsticks and and a .40 have in common genius?? One is a gun and the other I like to eat sushi with sometimes.

Your ratings in your profile indicate that you were on the G-II, III, IV, 450. Is this code word for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and a repeat of 4th grade in respect to the highest level of education you obtained?

Probably a helicopter pilot.

I seriously doubt this is actually true in practice (in theory, perhaps) The US constitution still allows for habeas corpus. Article 1, section 9.

"The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

If indeed, the TSA determines that this individual is an invastion threat, you might get your 120 days. And if they manage to hold on to a 22 year veteran of the Marines and a background checked airline Captain (or you for that matter) dont forget to thank....... BUSH/CHENEY and the histeria surrounding 9/11.

It is easy to malign the ACLU for some of the more ridiculous claims that they make and cases they take. However, don't forget, it is a very thin line between "them' and "us". These are the people who will howl when they come for you. Provided you didn't keep silent when they came for them.

Sweet Dreams.

He sure as hell knew what he was talking about, didn't he?
