Sacramento's whistleblowing pilot explains why he did it (lost gun,badge for telling truth)
ABC News ^ | 12-23-10 | Sarah Amos

The airline pilot who was reprimanded by the TSA for posting videos showing security flaws at a major airport is speaking out exclusively for the first time, saying that it was the "fallacy of the system" that inspired him to take this action.

*snip*

He first posted the videos to YouTube on November 28. Three days later, he says, four federal air marshals and two local sheriff's deputies showed up at his home to question him about the footage. The pilot filmed the conversation, during which the federal marshals confiscated his federally-issued firearm.

"Don't think we're not keeping score, brother." That's what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press.

No, Resistance. If this be treason, make the most of it.

I guess the whistle blowing regs only protect when you don’t try to point out the flaws of the ‘i-won’ and his regime.

From time to time it is commented on here that maybe, just maybe our sworn law enforcement officers would not act lock step in obeying commands against upstanding, law abiding citizens. Any comment that would support that stance is clearly without merit. I cannot hear what you say because what you do speaks so loudly.

For documenting what every other traveler can plainly see walking through a terminal?

What a bunch of BS. If his name was Moore he’d be invited to a State Of The Union address.

Don’t need no stinkin “net neutrality.” We feds can do whatever we want to the little people and they better like it. At the very least they better just shut up.

When you can show the State where they’re wrong rather than fixing it you’re the one who is arrested. You can show the feds how to take down a plane with dental floss. You think they’d thank you?

Such is the response to Napolitano’s own campaign “see something, say something”.

This should be the final straw that breaks the camels back. Fire Napolitano for utter incompetence.

Dumplin Ears has only hired incompetence in all of his regime on purpose in his effort to destroy our country. He, zippo, is a tool of someone else (Soros?) and the lesser tools need to be well, lesser. Fire them all. IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH!

>>>This is outrageous<<<

No, its the new NORMAL.

This is the “Fundamental Change” he had planned for America.

A country Ruled by a Marxist belief that the ends justify the means where he and his Party can do anything they want to anyone..anytime with ZERO checks and balances.

Totalitarian Leftist Power.

At some point I can not imagine that this country’s citizens will endure this forever without an uprising.

This pilot may have just saved hundreds or even thousands of lives and he is now an Enemy of the State.
