I was about to delete an offensive comment on this blog – one of the very few we get – and thought, hmm, I wonder where this guy is posting from? Because, really, it is quite unusual for us to get nasty comments. Lo and behold, the troll posted to our website from an IP address controlled by the federal government’s Department of Homeland Security! Here is the taxpayer-funded troll’s gem of a comment, for your entertainment:

In fact, there are are 19 comments from that IP address in our comment database! Here are some choice ones:

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Wish I could say I was surprised by this...

Wanna get rid of the TSA? Short answer - gut their funding. Make them irrelevant. We already have air marshals; arm the pilots as well.

TV news tonight interviewed an airline pilot raided at home this week by 4 air marshals, who seized his gun and cancelled his authorization to carry it in the cockpit.

His crime? He videotaped the non-existent airport 'security checkpoints' for ground crew, which was simply a door without guards. His point was that 'airport security' is a joke.

So basically, saying "The Emperor has no clothes!" is responded to with "The pilot has no gun!"

A pilot based at San Francisco International Airport has resigned from an anti-terrorist program that allows him to carry a gun onboard after he posted behind-the-scenes videos on the Internet showing what he considers lax security procedures for airport ground crews.

The pilot, a Sacramento-area resident in his 50s who has not released his name or airline, has been the target of a Transportation Security Administration probe since federal officials discovered the YouTube videos Nov. 30. The videos, which the pilot took with his cell phone, have since been taken down.

But snippets of the recordings the pilot gave to a Sacramento-area television station show that SFO workers on the ground are given access to passenger-restricted areas by swiping a security card. He claims their belongings and any cargo they are transporting are not checked, and there are no guards at the door.

"As you can see, airport security is kind of a farce," the pilot said in one video. "It's only smoke and mirrors so that you people believe there is actually something going on here."

Other footage shows him holding a large axlike weapon stored in the cockpit.

His attorney, Santa Ana-based Don Werno, said the pilot posted five similar videos on YouTube before authorities asked him to take them down. The sixth and final video he recorded featured four U.S. air marshals and two local sheriff's deputies visiting his home to take away his federally issued firearm as part of an ongoing investigation.

A letter the TSA sent the pilot, which Werno provided with his client's name redacted, said the Federal Air Marshals Service was suspending him as a federal flight deck officer pending a review.

The U.S. government created the flight deck officer program after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to allow qualified pilots and other onboard personnel to carry firearms during flights and receive training from air marshals, enabling them to help protect against attacks.

The man will continue serving as a pilot, since the flight deck officer role is voluntary and doesn't come with any perks, said Werno, who noted the video was meant as a wake-up call.

"This is what he believes is a major national security problem," Werno said Friday.

It's unclear if the TSA investigation now becomes moot, since Werno said the pilot already resigned from the program. The letter said that release of sensitive information "may result in civil penalty or other action."

In a statement released Friday, the TSA said it took action because federal flight deck officers "must be able to maintain sensitive security information as a condition of the program."

The agency said that, because it issues the firearms and credentials as part of the program, it reviews each possible violation and "acts accordingly, up to and including removing an individual from the assigned role."

"As to access control at SFO, TSA is confident in the tools the airport has implemented and reminds passengers there are security measures in place that are both seen and unseen," the TSA statement said.

Still, critics of the agency claim the videos shine a light on what they say are holes in the security system.

"I believe these are brave maneuvers in order to expose the frailties that exist regarding TSA," said Kate Hanni, executive director of Flyersrights.org, who called the TSA reaction to the video ridiculous. "The TSA simply does not want anyone to know how ineffective they are."

WOMAN ARRESTED AT AUSTIN AIRPORT FOR REFUSING GATERAPE

Early Wednesday morning, a computer glitch shut down a security checkpoint for a couple of hours at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The line snaked out the door as many travelers waited for more than an hour and some missed their flights. One of the first people in line after that shutdown never made it through. She was arrested and banned from the airport.

Claire Hirschkind, 56, who says she is a rape victim and who has a pacemaker-type device implanted in her chest, says her constitutional rights were violated. She says she never broke any laws. But the Transportation Security Administration disagrees.

Hirschkind was hoping to spend Christmas with friends in California, but she never made it past the security checkpoint.

"I can't go through because I have the equivalent of a pacemaker in me," she said.

Hirschkind said because of the device in her body, she was led to a female TSA employee and three Austin police officers. She says she was told she was going to be patted down.

"I turned to the police officer and said, 'I have given no due cause to give up my constitutional rights. You can wand me,'" and they said, 'No, you have to do this,'" she said.

Hirschkind agreed to the pat down, but on one condition.

"I told them, 'No, I'm not going to have my breasts felt,' and she said, 'Yes, you are,'" said Hirschkind.

When Hirschkind refused, she says that "the police actually pushed me to the floor, (and) handcuffed me. I was crying by then. They drug me 25 yards across the floor in front of the whole security."

An ABIA spokesman says it is TSA policy that anyone activating a security alarm has two options. One is to opt out and not fly, and the other option is to subject themselves to gaterape. Hirschkind refused both and was arrested.

Other travelers KVUE talked to say they empathize with Hirschkind, but the law is the law, never mind that pesky Constitution.

"I understand her side of it, and their side as well, but gaterape is for our protection so I have no problems with it," said Gwen Washington, who lives in Killeen.

"It's unfortunate that that happened and she didn't get to fly home, but it makes me feel a little safer being gateraped," said Emily Protine.

The TSA did release a statement Wednesday that said in part, "Our officers are trained to treat all passengers with dignity and respect. Gaterape is not optional."

The TSA says less than three percent of travelers get a pat-down, since 99% are slaves.
