Default Pilot Cardiac Arrest

https://www.newsweek.com/shocking-mo...irport-1796544

A pilot's life has been saved by two TSA officers coming to his aid at a Virginia airport when they realized he was suffering a cardiac arrest.
Officer Nigel Allen and Lead Officer Trenard Collier ran to help save the aviator, who collapsed suddenly at Richmond International Airport.

A TSA news release dated April 24 said Allen noticed the pilot appeared as though he was getting into some difficulty.
"Trenard saw the pilot on the other side of the atrium," Allen said in the release, "and told me, 'I think that guy is about to pass out.' I looked over just as the pilot fell to the floor."

Glad these guys helped out, but TSA employees are not "officers."

Also, to be snarky, the TSA tends to raise my blood pressure most of the time anyway, so it wouldn't surprise me if the TSA were the ones who induced the heart attack. Typical government; creates a problem then rushes in to fix it.

Seriously man, why don't you take it easy. There's more to life than big government or politics that you seem to get so caught up in. It's not like complaining anonymously to a bunch of people will change anything. That is likely to get your blood pressure up too.

‘Transportation Security Officer” is their actual job title…

When government quits infecting nearly every single part of our lives, then yeah, I'll care about government a lot less.

Ok, so please share with us what specifically you are doing to fight the tyranny that you're describing. Are you not paying taxes? Writing to your congressman, or better yet, are you making a move to run for office? If you're not doing anything, then my original point stands. Lighten up.

I'm involved in the political process, to attempt to hold my elected officials accountable at all levels of government.

What has being called an "officer" to do with the price of tea in china, or being "sworn?"

Ever been a first officer? Were you sworn to uphold your duties to yank the gear?

Don't be an idiot.
