Delta employee caught repeatedly smuggling guns on flights
Does this make you feel safer? A Delta employee was arrested today for smuggling guns on several commercial flights.
Henry allegedly brought the firearms in his carry-on luggage on at least five flights from Atlanta to New York between May 1 and December 10. During that time frame, Henry supplied a total of 129 handguns and two assault rifles to co-conspirators in New York, the affidavit states. One of those co-conspirators ended up selling the firearms to an undercover New York police officer.
Henry was arrested in New York on December 10 after landing at JFK airport with 18 handguns in his bag — seven of which were loaded, the affidavit says.
He apparently used his security clearance to bypass the TSA, thus avoiding getting sexually abused while also bringing loads of weapons on board numerous flights.
But the TSA works! The government tells us so!
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I guess flying was cheaper than just driving them into NY? And safer?
I had no idea NY troopers were stopping cars just to search for firearms coming into the state.
Makes one wonder how many other airline employees are smugglers? Mob connections?
For some reason this just sounds like an ATF/FBI set up.
They could have move hundreds of weapons into NY in a moving van all at once with far less risk.
This was just a bad idea.
You are right, transporting the guns by plane is almost unbelievably stupid, but then, criminals don’t usually choose that line of work because of their brains.
