TSA Agents Raid the Home of Airline Pilot Critical of Airport Security

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.

He is also a helicopter test pilot in the Army Reserve and flew missions for the United Nations in Macedonia.

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.

At the same time as the federal marshals took the pilot's gun, a deputy sheriff asked him to surrender his state-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon.

Wow...I'd sue the hell out of that Sheriff that revoked his concealed weapons permit!! I'd also sue the air marshals as they have no authority at his residence. I further would have denied them entry to my property. They could not have had a warrant in this case. Then I'd sue the TSA for harrassment. The TSA is about the worst thing they could have ever come up with for security...most agents don't know how to do their job (they just make up the rules as they go) and many are illegal aliens

I used to log 150k miles per year flying exclusively with American Airlines as part of my job, but since the hostile-takeover of airports by the treasonous NWO-controlled TSA, I opted for telecommuting to meetings rather than attending in person.

For the past 5 years, I have logged 0 miles per year with Any Airline! In fact, my Frequent-Flier Platinum cards are all expired, lol!!

If I need to go out of state (rare) I simply drive, no hassles!!

American Airlines just went bankrupt, I wonder why?

TSA is the Americas budding new SS, we are obviously sliding down the police state path

[crystalmethod1000]

we really need body cavity searches to make sure no one is carrying anything dangerous. shared sacrifice is necessary for safety, we all have to pay our fair share. You don't want another 9/11 do you?

We should all do this.
