Federal Air Marshal Fired...
for Making Planes Safer!

By Michael Hampton

In 2003, the Transportation Security Administration wanted to pull
federal air marshals off the highest-risk nonstop flights, just after
the U.S. had foiled al-Qaeda hijacking plots in which terrorists
would have used bombs smuggled inside cameras, flown planes into
London landmarks, and caused general mayhem in the skies.

Air marshal Robert MacLean blew the whistle. The air marshals didn’t
get pulled off the flights. And for that, he was fired.
This reminds me....whatever happened to Spencer Pickard?

Last I heard, the FAM program wouldn't let him see his ill mother after being put on administrative leave.
