This Is What You Get for Questioning TSA

TSA Silences Pilot For Telling The Truth
Source: Investor's Business Daily, 27 December 2010

Ever watchful all 364 days of the year, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has discovered a new security threat — pilots who fly our planes and have questions about the TSA's security practices and policies.

Three days after a 50-year-old veteran pilot living outside Sacramento, Calif., posted a YouTube video to shed light on the security gaps he believes exist at major U.S. airports, he had his home raided by four federal air marshals and two sheriff deputies, including members of an anti-terrorism task force.

The pilot, who was deputized by the TSA to carry a handgun in the cockpit as a federal flight deck officer (FFDO), had his federally issued firearm and badge confiscated....

UPDATE: Glenn Beck's The Blaze has an article revealing the identity of the pilot: Chris Liu, who ought to be commended for his courage instead of being hounded by the TSA.
