CNN: IRS Audited an FAA Whistleblower

Notably, Bryan Preston, um, notes, this is being reported by CNN, rather than, you know, not reported at all.

DHS official P. Jeffrey Black tried to fix problems that he saw in the Department of Homeland Security’s air marshal program. He testified before Congress about it. He appeared in a documentary about it.

Then the IRS magically showed up at his door. What are the odds, huh?

He had taken a long list of complaints to lawmakers about how the air marshals service was run, ranging from problems keeping marshals on flights to allegations of ineptitude and favoritism by managers. The same year he retired, he appeared in “Please Remove Your Shoes,” a documentary critical of the airline security measures travelers endure on every trip.

Then came the audit, which an Internal Revenue Service agent told him about the same day the movie premiered — “almost to the hour,” he said.

They told me that if I voted for Romney, we would see The Burning Times, and they were right.
