Incompetent TSA Airport Worker Dangerously Damages 9 Planes And Doesn't Tell Anyone, Thus Assuring In-Flight Problems If The Damage Went Unnoticed
But don't worry. He didn't find any terrorists on the planes
An incompetent Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) employee at Chicago's O'Hare airport, trying to find out if it would be possible for someone to break into a plane while parked, used sensitive equipment mounted externally on the planes to climb up to the top of each plane, leaving a trail of damaged probes and sensors behind him. 9 American Eagle jets were grounded, causing 40 canceled flights.
"...TSA agents are now doing things to our aircraft that may put our lives, and the lives of our passengers at risk," wrote one pilot.
"We caught it this time, but who knows if this has happened other times ... and with other planes that are out there," said Sam Meyer of the Allied Pilots Union.
