On the recordDecember 19, 2001
While Congress continues to pass airline security measures, pilot licenses are flying to foreign countries faster than bin Laden's been running. Unbelievable, but check this out. My investigation shows the FAA regularly sends pilot licenses in the mail to places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Pakistan. Now, if that is not enough to drench some fire hydrant, these licenses are being sent to post office boxes, no less. Beam me up. I am asking that the GAO investigate this madness. I yield back the fact that the FAA may have supplied bin Laden with an air force legally certified to attack America.
