This story http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Kanye-West-Kim-Kardashian-JFK-Airport-Screening-Security-Bypass-TSA-Violation-Flight-Delay-Los-Angeles-191089081.html reports: "When TSA officials learned what happened, they took West and Kardashian off the plane and screened them privately in an area of the jetway, said Farbstein. The couple was eventually cleared to board but the process delayed the flight by about 50 minutes." This one http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/clueless_kim_star_treatment_dsCek69VMVVuG1w6NTzKfK adds: "The TSA may have also violated standard protocol by not rescreening all passengers once the celebrity couple were hauled off the Los Angeles-bound plane, a veteran law-enforcement officer said." I don't know who else besides the TSA caused this delay.

Interesting that in the picture with the pilot the distortion of the background is profound, but not in the action picture. Also, what it flying that thing? A pair of disembodied headseat?

Someone's thinking! The article indicate the infraction occurred on the 30th. He has 10 days.

It would have been simpler to have kept quiet. If no one files a complaint, perhaps the FAA won't learn of the infraction - officially, at least. If an investigation is opened, leniency is all that is left. The rule doesn't contemplate extenuating circumstances short of an emergency in the aircraft.

I was not smart that he admit that! The FAA really has to open an investigation now. I can imagine some personal sympathy and perhaps a nod to extenuating circumstances and cooperation. Here's hoping he gets by with some additional training and review. Still, if there were some sort of failure at that height he'd not have had much time to evaluate options.

Phil, When I can shoot EVERY approach with the needles centered, I'll make the same criticism. I actually thought the composition was informative as it showed the variation that each landing is.

I put a cup of Jet-A into my C-210 every time I fill up. One day!!!

Even as an erstwhile member, I had to google to be reminded what ARINC stood for. And I'm over 50.

STEELJAW, If I read you correctly, you say you are comfortable taking security welfare from other taxpayers. Beautiful! Actually, I think your numbers are B.S., so don't feel too bad. However, I pay for my Cessna.
