Home Land security issue
Infrequent lurker, my first post.
Last week coming back fro PVR to PHX I came across a gross violation regarding plane safety. It can definitely bring a plane down. I called the FBI and said I wanted to put my complaint in writing (because I didn't want it swept under a rug) and they gave me a web site here in Phoenix that he said several agencies who were involved with homeland security issues controlled .Five days later no response of any kind. If I do not here anything by Monday 4/15 I want to force the issue to the forefront. Where best to do it NY Times, here, CNN, everywhere I can? Suggestions welcome. |

Might help to have a little bit of insight as to what exactly it was that you came across.
Not yet, but would cause a large fire difficult to put out and depending on where it is ignited really problematic. |

A) if it is a real "gross violation" that will continue, tell the media. It seems that the powers that be won't act unless there is some exposure. B) "Large fire, difficult to put out" so what. If A is true, it needs to be delt with. C) if it is stupid behavior by those charged with protecting travel safety...exposure is good for them. If embarassing, all the better, it may help them get better at what they are supposed to be doing. or.. D) Absolutely say nothing, it may make air travel more of a pain in the A$$. |

Then if your not going to say anything then whats the point of this thread

To the OP,
If you can't tell us yet what the situation was that you observed; can you answer if you are the type of person who agrees with the people on local newscasts when they say "I'll do anything if it makes me feel safer"? |

Also, in a previous life I sold wares to contain retail employee theft. You had to study and know the bad guys methods. |

Not really! Some would say that I'm very aware of potential happenstances that can happen around me. I actually check directions of fire escape exits when I check into a hotel. I've been in two hotel fires, one employee arson.

It's you ! Stop flying or at least let us all know when you are flying and we can avoid you like the plague ! Your real name isn't Jonah is it?
I'm active on three BB's where it seems the same happens there. Two of them have many members who are very active here and recommend the information as top notch. I didn't ask for your opinion on my worthiness nor am I interested in hearing it. |

OP, you have got to be joking. Whatever you saw was just a standard inconsistency in security theatre multiplied by the belief that you 'must remain vigilant and report anything suspicious'. Your non-willingness to share, establishment of arbitrary deadlines, FBI notification and so on confirm that you have nothing.
Much ado about nothing. |
Ronkramer88, did you do a search on this forum to see if the issue you are concerned with has been addressed previously?
|
Maybe this guy should join with the other one who was bent out of shape by some pax using his GPS in flight. I'm still curious why he won't tell us what happened. I thought the point here was to discuss facts.
