TSA must explain security flaws, pilot discipline

From Mind Your Own Damn Business Politics:

We the People need to vigilantly watch over the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)’s actions regarding a pilot the TSA is disciplining for a posting videos of security flaws at the San Francisco International Airport.

The video identified numerous flaws that are blatantly obvious, including easy access to secure areas for ground crew and a large ax inside secure areas. After posting the offending videos the pilot was visited at his home by six officials, four federal air marshals and two local sheriffs. The officials confiscated the pilot’s federally issued gun and state carry permit. In addition, the pilot faces potential civil penalties from the TSA.
