There had to be a background there, so I'm guessing someone at the FAA realy dropped the ball on that guy..
I do appreciate it - and it depends on who is doing the checking I guess. I mean how often do we hear on the news that some sex offender is working in the cafeteria at an Elementary School, and those people are suppose to be tracked darn near 100% of the time! There are definitely loopholes in the system that someone with savy can exploit
