Does a pipe bomb count as a WMD these days?Meanwhile the ATC'er that got arrested by the FBI for building a weapon of mass destruction is still working in CLT.
Air traffic controller in N.C. charged with having weapon of mass destruction
Police said the air traffic controller had a homemade pipe bomb he got from another man, who has also been charged
I don’t get it.Having sex with a girl he met online while directing aircraft? Can you imagine?
There used to be professionalism and dignity among those who are entrusted with issuing instructions to flight crews on live passenger flights. Since I aged out in the FAA pool, I'll never have the chance to meet a girl online and sneak them into an ATC tower for on the clock snoo-snoo, so I may only speculate. But, I imagine if entrusted with similar responsibility, I would never find the temptation to violate the sanctity of tower decorum.
What kind of sick individual who has a job involving so much decision making, responsibility, downtime, and internet access gets horny while astuely on duty, anyway? And it's not like it would be easy to make tower seks happen with a commoner. When I worked "down the hall" from the FAA in the now-demolished ramp tower I started at, we were outside the sterile area but had the same federal guards they had controlling all access as we used the same elevators and stairwells. What do these perverts expect? That the guards will just be cool with playing personal secretary and buzzing girls up to you with a high five? This is real life, and these are federal law enforcement officers with cat-like reflexes who never relax and are always ready to prevent 9/11 at any given minute of the day. You can't be their friend. They have better things to do than spend precious portions of their 12 hour duty days showing you photos of them rolling around naked on the carpet in the 49ers locker room at their side-gig. Good luck with that plan. Even worse if the tower is in a sterile area, because then in all likelihood tower sex would be with coworkers or other airport employees, a double taboo. What kind of idiot would start fraternizing with girls at airlines and retail stores treating the tower as if it were their own seedy airport motel room? Or invites up some poor unsuspecting soul they met on a dating service whose only crime was joining an app hoping to be courted by eligible bachelors and find ever-lasting love and instead thrusts them into a willful violation of the public trust. What is next, 2 controllers having consensual sex at work with the tower open, for the first time in the history of aviation? I hope not. If they did, they'd be caught, because anyone up to such bold antics is surely bragging about it on snapchat or instagram.
A Control Tower is a place for honest and hard-working professionals to unplug from outside life and leave the profanity, negativity, stress, and temptations at home. I'm just glad that for my small part in that world, I held my head high as an example of dedicated professionalism. Thankfully, I was able to share that passion with like-minded internet friends who were eager for a behind-the-scenes look at commercial aviation. Some of them I met here on JC. Some of them I met...elsewhere. But all good things must come to an end.
Then it’s not for you
