Commercial pilot can carry gun in cockpit yet name is on terror "watch list"
These fuckin government agencies crack me up. Fuckin hilarious....
Who needs Comedy Central when you have a bunch of funny ass-clowns working in our government. :1orglaugh
- Commercial pilot can carry gun in cockpit yet name is on terror "watch list"
- 8-year-old boy doesn't know what a "terrorist" is but is on the watch list, too
- Blame for situation goes back and forth between the feds and the airlines
Quote:
James Robinson is a retired Air National Guard brigadier general and a commercial pilot for a major airline who flies passenger planes around the country.
He has even been certified by the Transportation Security Administration to carry a weapon into the cockpit as part of the government's defense program should a terrorist try to commandeer a plane.
But there's one problem: James Robinson, the pilot, has difficulty even getting to his plane because his name is on the government's terrorist "watch list."

Quote:
Besides the airline pilot, there's the James Robinson who served as U.S. attorney in Detroit, Michigan, and as an assistant attorney general in the Clinton administration; and James Robinson of California, who loves tennis, swimming and flying to the East Coast to see his grandmother.
He's 8.
The third-grader has been on the watch list since he was 5 years old. Asked whether he is a terrorist, he said, "I don't know."
Though he doesn't even know what a terrorist is, he is embarrassed that trips to the airport cause a ruckus, said his mother, Denise Robinson.
