There was a disturbing report on CBS last evening about the re-emergence of a pilot/terrorist who has strong ties to the 9-11 hijackers. Click to read more.

For many, air rage is primarily associated with drunkeness and drug abuse. While true, about 20% of all cases also involve some form of mental illness, as this most recent case on China Airlines demonstrates. Click to read more.

The two-year anniversary of the final report of The 9-11Commission is approaching. Pols on all sides will try to get their mugs on the evening news with wasteful comments like "we can do more", "we need to increase spending", "we haven't been attacked since 9-11", etc, etc.

The fact is, the final report itself was a cover-up by the Washington-crowd concerning the failings of the same Washington-crowd. Osama Bin Laden is not omniscient nor omnipresent. Specific deficiencies had to exist within the Unted States which enabled the bad guys to do what they did on 9-11. The nexus of those failings was the aviation security apparatus.

Sickeningly, no one within the FAA, the agency entrusted by the American people to protect air transport in the United States, has ever been held accountable for the actions they undertook that empowered Al-Qaeda to kill three thousand innocent people.

Until we have real accountability, nothing will truly ever change. And all of the bluster about the 9-11 Commission will be just that: a waste of time.

Recent news reports that detail stories by Federal Air Marshals who claim they are adding innocent passengers to terror watch lists in order to meet set quotas is another example of this failed security measure. Click here to read more.

Bogdan Dzakovic is a great American. He has seen it all when it comes to aviation security. And he is not optimistic about the current state of the system. Click here to read about Bogdan's latest observations

The Department of Homeland Security is going to make your visit to the U.S. even more grating, as another layer of security is being added to the pre-flight routine. Click to read more...

If you want to avoid this measure along with the fingerprint ID, photograph, and stressful scrutiny at your arriving airport, simply fly into Nuevo Laredo or Nogales, put on your walking shoes, and stroll right in. You'll quickly learn that homeland security in the U.S. is much more a convenient justification for expanded governmental power than anything else.

Brian Sullivan, a retired FAA agent of integrity and character, is right to point out that TSA has stepped way over the line when it comes to keeping things private and away from public scrutiny. Here's to you Brian! Click here to learn more...No accountability, no justice, no progress!

9-11 should never be known as a day that we failed to imagine could ever happen. The 9-11 Commission was simply wrong to conclude that the attack was unpreventable. For years, the warnings were everywhere. Tragically, those in charge of aviation security who could have done something, failed to do so.

If the terrorists were not able to take the planes over and fly them into the WTC and Pentagon, 9-11 is a very different day and our world a fundamentally different place.

Read a great piece on how 9-11 was the result of an aviation security system set-up to fail.
