Subject: Fly-ins Subscriber Bulletin: NBC News Practices GA Terrorism
Subscriber Bulletin:
Here at the Aviation Foundation of America (Fly-ins.com) we are concerned about
the preservation and sharing of America's great aviation heritage. Acts of terrorism
threaten our aviation heritage and we need to guard against them.
Today we received notification of another act of "terrorism", this one was conducted
by NBC NEWS. NBC, acting as terrorists, tried to create their own act of
terror for the sake of creating yet another anti-aviation news story.
We have received the e-mail below describing NBC's abuse of taxpayers' money and
tying up law enforcement for the sake of their own agenda. It appears we not
only have to be watching for terrorists at our airports but also for NBC News.
In the final analysis they are attempting just another version of "terror" themselves.
Please read the e-mail below and forward it to anyone you feel would be interested.

ATTEMPTED SECURITY BREACH AT GENERAL AVIATION AIRPORT
In an effort to show allegedly lax security procedures, NBC News attempted to penetrate
a charter helicopter operation at St. Louis Downtown Airport on Wednesday,
August 11th.
The attempt was brought to a halt, and the individuals were apprehended.
Though this breach of security was stopped, it was indicated that NBC and other
news agencies might attempt to repeat their efforts at other facilities around
the country.
NATA urges operators to continue to be on the alert for security breaches by news
agencies "testing the waters" and, more importantly, actual terrorist organizations
or individuals intent on doing harm.
Operators nationwide are encouraged to review their security procedures and reinforce their security policies on a regular basis. NATA Members should review the TSA's Security Guidelines for General Aviation Airports (http://www.tsa.gov/public/interapp/editorial/editorial_1113.xml). Any suspicious activity should be reported immediately to the Airport Watch Hotline at (866) GA SECURE.
The account of the August 11 incident, provided by the director of the St. Louis
Downtown Airport follows:
"Earlier today two Middle Eastern men attempted to penetrate our security. They
telephoned one of my helicopter FBOs and asked about a charter flight.
After discussion of price and directions to the business, they arrived an hour
later. When the office agent asked how they were going to pay for the flight they
produced cash. When asked for ID, they produced driver's licenses from two
different states and they were driving a car licensed in a third state.
Things didn't smell right so the mechanic took them into the hangar to see the
aircraft while the office person called the FBI and local police. The helicopter
they were going to fly was blocked in by other aircraft so the mechanic was
able to stall them by having to slowly shuffle the blocking planes. Meanwhile
the two men got their backpacks and odd-shaped luggage out of their car. Soon
the local police arrived and they were hauled off to jail in handcuffs.
After a little time behind bars, the FBI verified that the two men were employed
by NBC New York and were on assignment to get a story of how easy it is to charter
a helicopter for a terrorist attack. The men had stayed in a local hotel
and purchased box cutters, leather-man knives, and other potential weapons at
the local Wal-Mart using a credit card. The box cutters had been hidden in the
lining at the bottom of the backpacks and the other weapons were hidden throughout
their baggage. They had audio taped the telephone conversation with Arlene
and were going to use it as part of a national news story about how easy
it is to get information and directions to the location of the helicopter and
then hijack it to commit a terrorist attack.
I doubt they will be back at our airport soon and this is a story that will never
be seen since they were caught. A very "well-done" to my FBO and staff and
the local FBI and police response forces. We have since learned that we were the
first airport where this had been attempted and NBC planned to attempt similar
penetration stories around the country. Please help me spread the word to
other airports."

Anyone going anywhere tomorrow? The wx looks mighty fine up this way for tomorrow
afternoon.
I went up for some air this evening after the winds died down a bit, and witnessed
one of those beautiful sunsets where the sun is a crimson peach with violet
stripes and sinks slowly behind indigo clouds layered just above the true horizon,
all this, of course, with row upon row of misty blue Allegheny Mountains
in the foreground... wish I had taken the digital camerea along, as it was certainly
a Fuji moment. It looks cool when you roll the whole sight-picture 360
degrees a time or two as well ;-)
Hey, Len: did those pics on the CD ever arrive?
