Air marshal left loaded gun in Newark airport bathroom stall, sources say

A federal air marshal left his loaded gun in a bathroom stall, sources said.

NEWARK -- A federal air marshal left his loaded gun in a bathroom stall at Newark Liberty International Airport, then boarded a flight he was assigned to protect without it, NJ Advance Media has learned.

The incident occurred late last month, when the marshal left the handgun on top of a toilet paper dispenser in the public men's room near Checkpoint 2 in Terminal C, according to a Transportation Security Administration supervisor and a law enforcement source, who asked their names not be used because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.

The gun was discovered by a airport janitor, who alerted a TSA supervisor, the sources said. The janitor and supervisor sealed off the stall and called Port Authority Police.

Officers took possession of the weapon, which upon inspection was found to be loaded, and then traced its serial number to the marshal, the sources said.

The sources did not know the precise date of the incident, which they said occurred in the last afternoon or early evening.

A TSA spokesman for the marshal service, Michael D. Pascarella, declined to comment.

"TSA will not discuss the mission activities of Federal Air Marshals," Pascarella said in an email.

A Port Authority Police spokesman, Joe Pentangelo, also declined to comment.

Federal air marshals are law enforcement officers within the TSA, who pose as airline passengers with a mission, "to detect, deter, and defeat hostile acts targeting U.S. air carriers, airports, passengers, and crews," according to the TSA, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security. Unlike the unarmed TSA screening officers recognizable to fliers at security checkpoints, marshals carry guns and dress in plain clothes.

"Federal Air Marshals must operate independently without backup, and rank among those Federal law enforcement officers that hold the highest standard for handgun accuracy," the TSA states, referring to the importance of not shooting holes in a pressurized aircraft cabin. "They blend in with passengers and rely on their training, including investigative techniques, criminal terrorist behavior recognition, firearms proficiency, aircraft specific tactics, and close quarters self-defense measures to protect the flying public."

By its stealthy nature, the Air Marshal Service does not attract much attention to itself or its undercover operatives. However, eight New York-based marshals made headlines in 2012 when they were fired for drinking at a restaurant while on duty, six others were suspended for failing to report them.

Should Professions Like Pilots Have Less Medical Privacy?

Since it was revealed that Andreas Lubitz - the co-pilot who purposefully crashed Germanwings Flight 9525, killing 150 people - had been treated for psychiatric illness, a debate has ensued over whether privacy laws regarding medical records should be less strict when it comes to professions that carry special responsibilities.

It has been widely argued that Germany's privacy laws were to blame for the tragedy. The Times, for example, headlined an article: "German obsession with privacy let killer pilot fly." Similarly, another article published in TIME said "German privacy laws let pilot 'hide' his illness from employers."

While Dirk Fischer, German lawmaker and the transport spokesman for the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), called for airlines to have mandatory access to pilots' medical records, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, president of the German Medical Association (B�K), disagreed. Montgomery believes that current laws are appropriate, since aviation doctors are already relieved of their duties of confidentiality if they think a pilot could put other people's lives at risk. If Lubitz's doctor did not alert Germanwings, it must have been because Lubitz did not seem like a threat.

Confidentiality and trust

There are two arguments for why Lubitz's doctor did the right thing by not disclosing Lubitz's depression to his employer. First, functional doctor-patient relationships depend on trust. If confidentiality between patients and doctors is breached, patients will no longer trust their doctors. And a lack of trust will lead (at least some) patients to hide some of their symptoms or refrain from seeking medical attention altogether for fear of bad consequences, such as stigmatisation and work-related penalties.

More dangerous than a pilot with a mental illness - or any number of other professions that carry the responsibility of a great many lives - is that one with a mental illness who will not seek treatment because he does not trust his doctor.

For these reasons, philosopher Kenneth Kipnis goes even further. He argues that confidentiality should be "far closer to an absolute obligation that it has generally taken to be" and that doctors should honour confidentiality even in cases where the patient might harm a third party. If patients come to doctors for help, doctors have a chance at avoiding a possible catastrophe. If patients lose trust on doctors and do not ask for help, nothing will be gained - patients will remain afflicted by their illnesses and people who might be put at risk by patients will remain at risk.

In the days before the crash, Lubitz searched online both for medical treatments and for ways to commit suicide, which suggests he was undecided as to what to do. So another way of thinking about his scenario is that perhaps if he had trusted his doctor even more - and shared with him or her the way in which he was thinking of committing suicide - his doctor could have done more to help him and to protect the passengers of the aircraft he piloted.

Lubitz's doctor also did the right thing by not revealing his depression to Germanwings because his depression was far from obviously related to his crime. Simon Wessely, the president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and an adviser to the British army, said that "there isn't a link between depression and aggressive suicide". J�rgen Margraf, psychologist and professor at Bochum University, likewise told NBC News that, given the sheer weight of numbers involved, you are far less likely to be harmed by a person with depression than by a person without depression: "The chances of killing others are higher for non-depressed than for depressed people," he said.

Furthermore, given the lack of relationship between depression and the pilot's crime, it was not obviously in the public's interest to know about Lubitz's depression and morally questionable that his medical history of depression has been exposed so freely. In Germany, medical confidentiality is supposed to be valid after death. Publicly disclosing Lubitz's ailment harms the public trust in doctor-patient confidentiality after death - and it may stigmatise people who are suffering from depression but who would never hurt anyone (but themselves).

The avoidable deaths of 150 people is a calamity and it makes sense to have a public debate about how to prevent future similar events from happening. Luckily, breaching confidentiality and endangering relationships between patients and doctors is not the only answer.

Along with the crucially important rule of having two people in the cockpit at all times (which violates nobody's privacy), one medical measure to avoid future catastrophes is to notify employers of stay-home orders from doctors for employees who have high-responsibility jobs without mentioning the cause of the incapacitation. Lubitz reportedly had a sick note for the day he flew but never told the airline. If they had been aware of the sick note things might have been different.

After Alps Crash, Some Experts Ponder Flights Without Pilots


French gendarmes, seen in this picture made available to the press by the French Interior Ministry April 1, 2015, work near debris from wreckage showing a German flag at the crash site of an Airbus A320, near Seyne-les-Alpes.

NEW YORK-
To improve airline safety, maybe we need to remove the pilots.

That radical idea is decades away, if it ever becomes a reality. But following the intentional crashing of Germanwings Flight 9525 by the co-pilot, a long-running debate over autonomous jets is resurfacing. At the very least, some have suggested allowing authorities on the ground to take control of a plane if there is a rogue pilot in the cockpit.

The head of Germany's air traffic control agency on Wednesday became the latest to raise such a prospect.

Such moves might seem logical in the aftermath of this crash, but industry experts warn that the technology is fraught with problems. Besides, no matter how tragic the deaths of the 149 other passengers and crew were, it was an anomaly. Each year, more than three billion people around the globe step aboard some 34 million flights. The number of crashes purposely caused by commercial pilots in the last three decades: fewer than 10.

"Would this really be the wisest investment of our air safety dollars?'' asks Patrick Smith, a commercial airline pilot for 25 years and author of "Cockpit Confidential.''

Smith says that even the newest jets would need an expensive reengineering of their key systems. And that doesn't even tackle any of the concerns over terrorists hacking into the communications link and taking over the jet.

Despite those major technical - and psychological - hurdles, the concept isn't so farfetched.

There was a time when riding an elevator without an operator seemed unimaginable. Today, we don't think twice about stepping into an empty elevator. Airports around the world have trams without drivers, as do some subways systems. Even cars are starting to take some of that control away from us: the latest models will automatically brake if there is a sudden hazard.

The military already has pilots remotely flying drones that are on the other side of the earth. But making that jump for passenger jets is simply unnerving.

Planes don't operate in the confined space of an elevator shaft or train tracks. And flying has always seemed unnatural. When jets make odd noises or hit a rough patch of turbulence, we eagerly wait for that soothing voice of the pilot to tell us that everything is ok.

"The real reason a person wants another human in the cockpit is because they want to believe there's somebody in the front who shares their own fate and thus if anything goes wrong, they will do everything they can to save their own lives,'' says Mary Cummings, a former U.S. Navy fighter pilot who is now a Duke University professor studying autonomous flight.

That's why Cummings and other aviation experts see cargo planes being the first aircraft to fly over the U.S. without pilots. First, the big cargo companies would go from two pilots to one with a team of pilots remotely assisting from the ground. Then all operations would shift to the ground.

Airlines would save on pilot training, salaries, retirement costs and hotel and travel expenses. Plus, ground-based pilots would be able to hand off flights from one to another, allowing them to work normal eight hour shifts even if their jet is in the air for 12 hours.

Cummings says such a shift could occur in 10 or 15 years.

"In my mind, it's a done deal,'' she says. "The business case is so strong.''

Pilots are getting further and further removed from their aircraft.

In the past, pilots would pull back on the yoke which was connected to a cable that ran the length of the plane. That cable would move flaps on the tail called elevators, causing the plane to climb. Today, there is no cable. When the pilot moves the yoke a computer sends a signal to the rear of the plane, moving the elevators.

The majority of aircraft maneuvers outside of takeoff and landing are already automated. Even when a pilot wants to change course, they program the new directions into the plane's computer instead of making the turns themselves.

If that weren't removed enough, Airbus is exploring a windowless cockpit. The aircraft manufacturer is experimenting with a system of cameras and screens that would give pilots a wider, more-detailed view, although one step removed from reality.

Todd Humphreys, a University of Texas professor of aerospace engineering, says it isn't hard to go one step further and have the pilots watching those same screens from a room on the ground.

"Anything you can control with knobs or buttons, without getting out of your seat, can be done equally well - or even better - on the ground,'' Humphreys says.

Humphreys argues that ground-based pilots wouldn't have to deal with time zone changes and jetlag, uncomfortable airport hotels or even the dehydration that comes after long flights.

Since most flights don't have a problem, "pilots only face extreme challenges once in a blue moon,'' Humphreys says, and might not be most apt to handle an emergency. Instead, he says you could have a team of specialized experts in the room with all the remote pilots who could jump in and assist with any emergency, actually reducing the amount of pilot error.

Pilots mostly disagree with that, saying they need to make split-second decisions. Take US Airways Flight 1549 which famously landed on the Hudson River. Capt. Chesley "Sully'' Sullenberger had seconds to decide what to after both engines were disabled by a bird strike. And how would pilot thousands of miles away handle a fire in the cockpit?

Ultimately, it will come down to passengers. Are travelers more worried about the rare rogue pilot killing them or stepping onto a plane without any pilot?

Southwest Airlines passenger booted off jet for using pen to jab snoring man

A passenger was removed Thursday from a Southwest Airlines jet after she repeatedly jabbed the man next to her to stop him from snoring.

The incident occurred while the jet near the gate at Midway International Airport in Chicago, preparing to leave for Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in New Hampshire, WMAQ-TV in Chicago reported.

After the woman poked her seatmate with the pen and he began screaming, the jet returned to the terminal and she was removed for "causing a disturbance," a Southwest spokesperson said.

The woman, who was not arrested after the man declined to press charges, was booked on a later flight. Airline officials and police who investigated did not disclose her name.

The passenger, Lenny Mordarski, was not seriously injured in the incident, which caused the 1:15 p.m. flight to be delayed until 3:04 p.m.

He told WLS-TV in Chicago that the pen left ink marks on his shirt, while the poking was a rude awakening.

"Imagine being asleep and then being stung by bees, and then waking up and going 'owww,'" Mordarski said.

Asia Pacific Airline Training Symposium


 

15-16 September 2015 * Centara Grand Convention Center, Bangkok, Thailand


 

Call for Papers 


 

The Journal for Civil Aviation Training (CAT) is now accepting presentation abstracts for the world's largest  aviation training event in the Asia Pacific region. A limited number of speaker slots are available at the 12th APATS event, to be held 15-16 September, 2015, at the Centara Grand Convention Center in Bangkok, Thailand.


 

Over many years the challenges in aviation training have evolved, and increasingly detailed research has helped to develop a better understanding of the issues. Many conferences have provided an excellent platform on which to reveal the type and extent of the problems, but frequently the optimum solutions to these have been more difficult to discern.


 

The challenge for APATS 2015 is to identify and present practical solutions to some of the current headline topics in the aviation training world. The overall theme of APATS 2015 is "Training Solutions".

Presentation abstracts are invited to present best practice in the following areas, and the conference will be shaped by those abstracts.


 

How do we:

1. Recruit and retain new aviation professionals?
2. Select ab intio pilots, experienced crews and captains?
3. Adapt to cultural issues in the cockpit?
4. Deliver effective CRM?
5. Ensure that ICAO Level 4 Aviation English is properly examined?
6. Train to improve situational awareness?
7. Implement Evidence Based Training?
8. Train for Upset Prevention and Recovery?
9. Train to deal with lithium battery fires?
10. Deliver balanced assertiveness training for cabin crew?


 

Preference will be given to air carriers and training organisations with real world insights and "Lessons Learned" information. In no case will sales presentations be accepted. Actual presentations must fit into the APATS format which is 20 minutes, followed by a Q&A period. Longer presentations may be accepted if an in-depth explanation is required. In each case we are looking for two or three clear take-away ideas, so that those who deliver training, or who need certain capabilities can leave the conference with some specific plans to improve training. 


 

To propose a presentation for the APATS conference, please send a maximum 200 word abstract by 30th April, 2015. Abstracts are required to be accompanied by a short biography of the speaker which should include contact information, titles, positions and employers, academic background and any conference presentation experience. Authors of accepted speaker proposals will be notified by 31st May, 2015. Abstracts can be sent to Chris Long, Conference Chair, at [email protected]. File a copy to [email protected] and put "APATS 2015 ABSTRACT" in the subject block.
