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.

We'll tolerate up to the point where we're asking each other "How did we let this happen?"
Amen to that my FR friend been saying the same thing myself.
Well, at least he didn’t publish the details of how the badges work and how many digits in the code to open the doors.
I once had access to a huge cobalt-60 cell used to sterilize stuff like medical gear and band-aids and clinical petri dishes. When you think of Dirty Bombs, this would have been a granddaddy in the wrong hands. Megacuries.
I saw a vulnerability about access I didn’t like, and the manager said it was covered, don’t worry.
Should I have gone public and explained how to access and remove the source rods on YouTube and in the NYT? The place is still in operation, it’s not too late, though they have not had an incident.
Another point, yes my mileage varies.
I doubt as a pilot that he’d be privy to all security measures, and who is cleared for what and what the clearance procedures are.
As I mentioned in another post, the powers that be hire professionals with all the access they need.
His comment that “when you see a cart on the field, it’s not checked”, and a bunch of other assertions, all sound like he does not know what checks are made or what clearance it takes to go through a door. And why should he? His job is to fly the plane, not do background checks on the ramp rats.
Yeah, you’re right - that doddering old buffoon Ben Franklin had NO idea what he was talking about...
Did Franklin publish troop movements during the Revolution? If not, why not?
You shouldn’t drink & post...
Ha, answer the question.
I’m always amazed at the number of Statist apologists on Free Republic these days.
Your “question” is a non-sequitur, dilwit.
So we should have completely open access to security procedures at sensitive facilities?
You don’t have an answer, and don’t know what a non sequitur is.
I'll let you talk to yourself from here on out. Good night, sweetums! :-)
Nitey-night! Stay out of the kitchen!
I want EVERY security flaw of EVERY airport exposed to the public in EVERY manner possible.
This will shut down air travel entirely for some period of time.
This is the only way normalcy can eventually be re-established, with an Israeli-type security screening process.
I've arm-wrestled a few times with Non-Sequitur right here on Free Republic. Strangely, he actually addresses the topic at hand, instead of going off into the bushes, like you hunting after your non-existent "security snipe".
Does this mean that you think that Ben Franklin should have published troop movements during the Revolution? [non-sequitur]
False analogy not worthy of a response.
I don't. That's lunacy to expose security flaws to your enemies. That's not the way to handle it.
