Paul Sperry: Security Experts Warn That Islamists Pilots Present an "Insider Threat" to Air Safety

This is one of those "duh no shit really" reports, but bear in mind that the entire Islamocommunist-captured establishment denies this obvious fact, so it's critical that the obvious be reported and documented.

At Real Clear Investigations:

When the Federal Aviation Administration reinforced cockpit doors after the 9/11 hijackings, it turned flight decks into fortresses to lock out terrorists. But what if a terrorist is already inside?

That question has new urgency following the harrowing Sept. 30 attack aboard a FlyDubai flight in which a Muslim extremist (Islamist) pilot was forcefully stopped by a heroic pilot and brave passengers from crashing a plane bound for Israel.

Former aviation security officials say the FAA needs to reassess threats inside cockpits and the measures intended to counter them. They say this review is especially urgent because the agency has made insider threats to the cockpit more likely by recently forcing airlines to add a secondary barrier to the cockpit in the form of a metal gate on new planes.

Experts say the added security, while well-intentioned, could backfire following al-Qaeda's call last month for Islamist pilots to carry out more suicide attacks inside cockpits and for followers to infiltrate the ranks of pilots. Al-Qaeda has reestablished terror training camps in Afghanistan, along with recruiting and propaganda organs, echoing its pre-9/11 potency.

Don't worry, everyone! The Isamocommunist-captured establishment has decided that 9/11 never happened. It was all just a right-wing hallucination, so stop worrying about a dark "far right" fantasy and conspiracy theory, Racists.

Enhanced security measures designed to lock out threats could merely lock in an attacker....

Yeah, when the terrorist is in the cockpit already, beefing up the door just stops passengers from wresting him from the controls.

But we can't talk about the danger of Islamist pilots.

9/11 never happened, remember? Never forget means "Never mention again."

Also, the attempt to hijack a FlyDubai plane by an Islamist co-pilot didn't happen.

Aviation security experts also say airlines must do more to identify pilots who may hold extremist views or show signs of mental illness. At least two U.S.-based Islamist pilots have been suspended in the wake of the FlyDubai incident.

"Pilots who have openly espoused and supported terrorists should be grounded as unstable," said former airline executive Michael Boyd, president of Boyd Group International, an aviation consulting firm, in an interview with RealClearInvestigations. "Anybody who supports clear terrorism should be grounded; but of course, that gets muddy in the realm of free speech."

Meaning: They haven't been grounded already.

Weak vetting systems

Suicide by aircraft has long been a rare but concerning issue. Most documented cases have involved private planes, not commercial carriers. Mentally ill people -- including the German copilot who killed himself and 149 others on board when he locked the captain, who had gone to the bathroom, out of the cockpit and crashed a flight into the Alps in 2015 -- have long accounted for most cases. But experts say a disproportionate number of such tragedies involving major airliners have involved Muslim pilots, most of whom have expressed extremist views.

...

While non-Muslims historically have been responsible for some cases of suicide pilots intentionally downing major airliners, three of the four cases directly linked to terror have involved Islamist pilots (9/11 is not included because it was a hijacking).

And also: It simply never happened, Bigots.

Read the whole thing and weep.

It's not just that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

They want to repeat it. This is not "forgetting," this is just replaying the old playbook with the Islamocommunist-dominated government acting as co-conspirators to the coming slaughters.
