I am sick and tired of this so called government agency.
Sounds more like the SS to me.[Rant1]

Pilot also lost his gun?

Not to defend the TSA, but I don't agree with how the pilot handled sensitive information- I'm always suspect of CNN & other MSM outlets- but if his first recourse was to post videos online?

He should have tried to work within the organization first, even if popular opinion is that they're a POS- he's connected through them through his employer.

If that failed, there has to be some recourse of non-public whistle-blowing that he could try before just posting them on the internet.

In addition to Air Marshals coming to his home to take his pistol, which presumably was issued by them under a federal program the pilot was involved with, a couple of deputies showed up at the same time to confiscate his CA CCW permit. I am assuming that a judge approved of this and authorized said revocation.

Seems bizarre, but there might be more to the story we don't know.

I Really don't think that posting a video explaining that TSA Agent are Idiots lacking professionalism, Legal comprehension, discretion or morale fortitude is exactly divulging state secrets.

stinks of retaliation to me as well... but I'm sure there's more.
