Flight schools teach illegal 1,000s

U.S. flight schools teach illegal 1,000s of foreign students seeking pilot licenses - (and how to land?)

The National Terror Alert Response Center reported Wednesday, Feb. 27, on thousands of foreign students gaining access to flight instruction, circumventing laws to curtail access because of 9-11.

The report, culled from ABC News-obtained documents, indicates the nation’s resistance to terrorist attacks, even those mimicking past tactics, may be at or below September-10 levels.

Thousands of foreign student pilots have been able to enroll and obtain pilot licenses from U.S. flight schools despite tough laws passed in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, according to internal government documents obtained by ABC News.

“Some of the very same conditions that allowed the 9-11 tragedy to happen in the first place are still very much in existence today,” wrote one regional security official to his boss at the TSA, the Transportation Security Administration.

“Thousands of aliens, some of whom may very well pose a threat to this country, are taking flight lessons, being granted FAA certifications and are flying planes,” wrote the TSA official, Richard A. Horn, in 2005, complaining that the students did not have the proper visas.

Under the new laws, American flight schools are only supposed to provide pilot training to foreign students who have been given a background check by the TSA and have a specific type of visa.

But in thousands of cases that has not happened, according to the documents and current and former government officials involved in the program.

So this has been going on since 2005. We expect our leaders to respond to this nation’s need for a defense against threats foreign and domestic, and this is what we get?
