The anti-pilot-gun crowd here should be pleased with the latest actions of the TSA.
First, after spending millions on training facilities in the US state of Georgia, they have decided to move the training program to New Mexico after more millions are spent to build facilities there along with more delays.
Second, at least 100 of my fellow pilots in my company alone have received a rejection notification email after taking a psychological test , and an interview with a designated pyschologist.
The email states that the applicant has been removed from consideration for weapons training due to the availability of "more qualified volunteers", and may reapply after a minimum of one year.
Sounds reasonable, except in that the group of pilots not considered "qualified", and have received rejection notices are a former US Navy Seal, a former US Marshal and a former FBI Agent.
