Hahaha....they surprise me every time with their complete stupidity: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/03/08/2241229/tsa-warning-media-about-reporting-on-body-scanner-failures

"TSA conducted more than 8,000 VIPR operations in the past 12 months, including more than 3,700 operations in mass-transit and passenger-railroad venues,” boasted TSA Administrator John S. Pistole in June testimony before the Senate. His 2012 budget calls for expanding VIPR by 50 percent." So...

This is just too funny: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/travel-safety-security/1236075-report-your-name-pronouncing-experiences-here.html Luckily, I don't fly anymore and I haven't had to deal with these idiots, but asking pax to pronounce their name - priceless. If I have to fly again and...

The FAA seems to be a topic not just in aviation circles, but even in the general news cycle a lot. Why is that? There are plenty of other departments that have similar roles but that aren't very prominent in the evening news. Take the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) for example...

This question has been answered already, but I'd like to get more detail about the specific requirements here. The scenario: You don't log most of your flight time, and while the CFI gave you a piece of paper to paste into your logbook for your last flight review, you didn't do so and have lost...

I can't say I'm at all surprised. These people are incompetent; but incompetence paired with radiation is a very bad mixture. The USA Today "explanation" is even better: "Indeed, even the highest readings listed on some of the records — the numbers that the TSA says were mistakes — appear to...

Has anyone seen it? What did you think? I just saw it for the 2nd time. This remake is incredible...

Another good simulation with real ATC recordings: http://asf.org/xcountryacs (free signup or AOPA account required). For anyone who hasn't seen this one re. VFR into IMC, it's if anything even better and very engaging: http://flash.aopa.org/asf/acs_vfrimc/

That I have seen. Very nice :thumbsup: http://oudaily.com/news/2010/dec/06/column-nude-awakening-tsa-and-privacy/

(see here) About time. Of course, the TSA is now using mobile scanners in vans. I hope people won't mind being virtually strip-searched and irradiated while walking down a street.

Never mind....

http://www.optoutday.com/ Wednesday, November 24, 2010 is NATIONAL OPT-OUT DAY! It's the day ordinary citizens stand up for their rights, stand up for liberty, and protest the federal government's desire to virtually strip us naked or submit to an "enhanced pat down" that touches people's...

Hmm...I guess the FAA obviously isn't even close to having considered all the issues with ADS-B. http://www.ndtv.com/article/technology/a-phone-application-that-threatens-security-56673

NPR conducted an interview with Boeing's chief test pilot. It's by far the most factual and informed program I've ever heard on the radio or TV. They talk a lot about the upcoming movie "Legends of Flight", the new Boeing 787, and they take some calls from pilots across the country. Truly a...
