TSA breaks 9 Eagle aircraft at ORD
Hey,
I've just been hearing from the Eagle board that TSA(security) not the airline, has broken into 9 of our aircraft in ORD. I'm assuming as a security test. Doing an RGO(look up broken aircraft) this morning confirms 9 aircraft all had damaged TAT probes. Apparently from somebody using them climb on the aircraft. I know sounds completly BS, I thought it was too but, from what I have gathered its true. There were kickoff flight cx'd this morning too. So just a friendly word of advice for the ORD guys and gals be sure to pay extra attention when check out your A/C in the morning. You never know you just might find a TSA agent climbing all over it in the morning
Oh, if this does turn out to be false I'll let you know. Its hard to believe but, thought I'd out it there in case anybody came across this.

Maybe it's just propoganda, but I've heard crews talk about finding things and it was placed there by TSA.

TSA is not permitted to open any aircraft doors, nationwide. They are permitted to enter an aircraft that was left open, but they are not to operate any levers, handles, etc to gain access to an aircraft.
