GA Pilots detained for flying VFR and fitting a Profile
Stories of two GA pilots detained and questioned for flying VFR and flying West to East fitting a certain "profile". (www.theatlantic.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
This is starting to go very wrong. This DHS thing is out of control. They haven't been successful catching terrorists so I guess they are branching out to expand and justify their existence.
No money for controllers but think of what this must have cost. Out tax dollars being put to good use? Thanks DAD.....
If these stories are indeed true, then all I have to say is "SONOFABITCH" Just what the hell is happening to this government? As I see it, all those "terrorists" that have targeted America (The great Satan) don't have to do anything more to the USA, just roll on the floor, laughing their asses off while the US gov. does the work for them. In retrospect concerning these 2 guys: What now? Is there a profile on them (watch list) when they fly commercial? I'm getting fed up with this current Govt. bullshit. Come look me up DEA, HS, BP.
Probably better to not comment ...
We'll see. End of the week I'm flying my plane to Daytona. I might have a welcoming party. Lol
This happened to me last year while flying IFR from Laredo, TX to La Porte Muni (T41). Upon arrival I saw the DEA helo on the ramp, about six agents plus 4 La Porte Police cars and a whole bunch of cops plus one dog. They were all around my plane when I stopped. My passengers deplaned and no questions for them, they were waiting for me and my copilot. They were looking for drugs I guess since I came from Laredo._While checking my lic. medical etc., they asked if their dog could get in the plane, I said yes but if he shits in it,they clean it up. They were trying to spook me by saying the dog had a hit for drugs in my plane, I told them I wanted a second opinion, another Damn Dog cause I didn't believe them. After they checked my truck and Dan's car, they said we could go. All this took about an hour and a very expensive helo flight from DWH to T41 and back.
