They're here to help
Commuter Flights Grounded Thanks To Bumbling TSA InspectorWed, 20 Aug '08
Damaged TAT Probes On Nine Jets While Conducting 'Security Checks'They're the government... and remember, they're here to help. A bumbling inspector with the Transportation Safety Administration apparently has some explaining to do, after nine American Eagle regional jets were grounded at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Tuesday.
Citing sources within the aviation industry, ABC News reports an overzealous TSA employee attempted to gain access to the parked aircraft by climbing up the fuselage... reportedly using the Total Air Temperature (TAT) probes mounted to the planes' noses as handholds.
