How’s that TSA working for you, America?
Delta employee charged with helping smuggle guns onto plane
The FBI and New York police held a news conference to discuss the latest on an airline security breach involving a Delta employee facing federal charges.
Police say more than 150 guns were illegally smuggled from Atlanta to New York on more than a dozen trips. Channel 2’s Rachel Stockman broke the news Monday that a former Delta employee at Hartsfield-Jackson is accused of using his clearance to help smuggle the guns.
Investigators believe those guns made it on to 20 different flights.
Stockman obtained a mugshot of Eugene Harvey from a previous arrest for simple battery. He was found not guilty, but the College Park native is now facing more serious charges of gun trafficking.
Channel 2 was first to obtain a copy of the arrest affidavit and Tuesday afternoon police briefed reporters.
“They put guns on the plane this time. They could have easily put a bomb on one of those planes ,” said Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson.
Of course, now we will get to hear about a new round of security measures proposed by the federal government.
Which won’t work. But there’ll be a a few thousand more federal employees and it’ll cost more to fly so that people “feel” safer.
Pretty sure this exact thing is what everyone has been warning about for, like, ever.
Ayup, and yet the feds took little to no action to try and stop it.
Proving, again, that they don’t care about actual security. Just the appearance of it.
So then – who watches the watchdogs?
