‘Gestapo USA’ Pilot Exposes TSA Airport Security Flaws Loses CCW Permit

 

TSA Pulls Gun Permit Of Pilot Whistleblower On Airport Security

 

Chris Liu: I am the YouTube airline pilot

“…The airline pilot who lost his federally-issued gun and badge for posting video on YouTube critical of airport security has chosen to go public with his identity.

“My name is Chris Liu and I’m an airline pilot,” Liu said during an exclusive interview Monday with News10 at his home in Colfax.

Liu’s cell phone video tour of security at San Francisco International Airport led to a team of six federal agents and sheriff’s deputies coming to his home on Dec. 2 to take his handgun and Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO) credentials.

Liu’s state-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon was also suspended by the Placer County sheriff.

“I just found a disparity between what happens upstairs and what happens downstairs,” Liu explained. …”

Three days after he posted a series of six video clips recorded with a cell phone camera at San Francisco International Airport, four federal air marshals and two sheriff’s deputies arrived at his house to confiscate his federally-issued firearm. The pilot recorded that event as well and provided all the video to News10.

At the same time as the federal marshals took the pilot’s gun, a deputy sheriff asked him to surrender his state-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon.

A follow-up letter from the sheriff’s department said the CCW permit would be reevaluated following the outcome of the federal investigation. …”
