“Rampant Theft” from Air Force One by press corps
Surprise! Those paragons of integrity seem to have a sticky fingers problem
https://www.foxnews.com/media/air-fo...ident-politico A Politico report this week alleged petty theft happening on Air Force One as many White House correspondents often try to sneak themselves souvenirs from the president’s personal airplane.* The piece, featured in Thursday’s edition of Politico’s "West Wing Playbook," detailed how reporters traveling with the president often take items from the plane. It mentioned that many of them do it, so they can have a piece of presidential memorabilia to show off to their friends and colleagues. For years, scores of journalists — and others — have quietly stuffed everything from engraved whiskey tumblers to wine glasses to pretty much anything with the Air Force One insignia on it into their bag before stepping off the plane," the piece stated, describing the practice as "rampant thievery."* The practice "has become shockingly common," the article disclosed, so much so that White House Correspondents’ Association president and NBC correspondent Kelly O’Donnell emailed members of the WH press corps telling them to knock it off.* Several members of the WHCA confirmed with the outlet that this off-the-record email was real.

I think maybe there were some Boeing "plants" in the press gathering parts for their own struggling fleet.

It's not theft. It's what our country has turned into with Jughead Joe in the WH and all his idiot friends running big cities and States.

Worse, I know of two aircraft airframe techs working on an A-6 nose wheel gear and forgot to "pin" the gear for safety even after an "old salt" Navy Chief told them to do so.
The gear collapsed and killed both techs. Crushing them to death and that became the subject of a Navy safety film. |
