Nine American Eagle airplanes were grounded Tuesday after a TSA inspector, conducting an overnight security check, used sensitive instrument probes to climb onto the parked aircraft at Chicago's O'Hare Airport, aviation sources tell ABCNews.com.
A TSA official confirmed the incident.
Full story at ABC news.
It's a little disturbing that the inspector in question is tasked with keeping aircraft and their passnegers safe....
My wings are like a shield of steel.
It now seems that since the Inspector was able to enter some of the aircraft American Eagle could actually be facing a fine over it.
