Stories of two GA pilots detained and questioned for flying VFR and flying West to East fitting a certain "profile". (www.theatlantic.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Perhaps the best use of this column would be to advertise the names of Congressional members who empowered these tactics!

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.
If you were stopped driving your vehicle, for the same reasons, would any of these comments even be made? GA represents a very unsecure means of transport, and as such is subject to the occasional stop by law enforcement. The same thing happens on the water and on the highways, get over it.
In answer to your question, yes they would be ( at least in my case). Just because it's happening on the water and highway does not make it right. Getting leaned on for fitting a profile is as American as apple pie lately. If you aren't in an enforcement organization, you fit the profile and are fair game. This was wrong bedore 9/11 and is still wrong now. Why should we have to ask for our Bill of Rights back?
I agree with Wallace! Lay down and roll over, Schecter. You sound like a kid with no brains. I seriously doubt that you were ever in the military, just a loudmouth asshole. Fed up, yet again!
We're you born and raised in America ? Or are you just a fan of big government?
