And that type of professionalism that the Connecticut State Police, who are the law enforcement agency at BDL will probably be ending within the next year or so.
Last year Connecticut created the Connecticut Airport Authority to operate all the state owned airports, and they have just hired their first director and from what I have read they will eventuality form their own law enforcement agency to replace the CT. State Police, which presently are understaffed because of budget problems and freeing up troopers to go back to their highway patrol duties.
I doubt the BDL airport assignment is high on the list of choice assignments for a State Trooper, probably the reason why he never smiled.
