Whistleblowers!: Federal Air Marshal, Robert MacLean

Hosted by Marti Oakley

Guest: Robert MacLean,  Federal Air Marshal 

Before Federal Air Marshal (FAM) Robert MacLean won in the U.S. Supreme Court and Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), he stopped the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from violating law and forced it to deploy FAMs onto terrorist-targeted nonstop, long distance flights, like those attacked on 9/11; suicidal hijackers were going to exploit State Department Visa  and TSA security screening loopholes—he closed those hazardous loopholes. The day after, Hillary Clinton strongly supported MacLean's actions expressing her extreme concern about TSA's inane cost-savings plan devised due to wasting $1.4 million on senior executive bonuses. MacLean also reversed dangerous grooming standards, dress codes, and boarding procedures that compromised the identity of FAMs.
