With all the hullabaloo over liquids on planes, maybe it's time to invest a little homeland security energy in arresting illegal immigrants and gang mambers who work at airports.
Los Angeles, CA. While U. S. airport security officials are scrambling to confiscate toiletries, baby formula and personal beverages from airline passengers, it would appear an even greater danger lurks behind the scenes in airline operations. The real threat of terrorist acts being perpetrated by foreign nationals and gang members working for the airlines has not drawn much media attention, yet experts have expressed concern. ...Richard Valdemar, retired after 33 years with the L. A. County Sheriff’s Department OSS gang detail. He describes some the following concerns about airport safety:
* Drug oriented, rival gangs employed by airlines, having access to the cargo holds.
* Rival gang signs have been found present inside the cargo holds
* Danger of guns and gang shoot-outs in close proximity to the airplanes
* Lack of background checks by airlines
* Hiring of foreign nationals, illegal immigrants for baggage handlingU.S. Attorney Debra Yang told Full Disclosure Network™ (FDN) that 80 illegal immigrants were arrested (and prosecuted) who worked at Los Angeles International Airport, after 9/11 for the following:
* Falsifying employment documents
* Prior criminal convictions
* Falsely claiming resident and citizenship status
* Working in security positions without proper background checks
Shouldn't we take care of the low-hanging fruit before we go after the baby formula?
