The FAA has reviewed his claims and is evidently not been nearly excited about Sam's claims of impending catastrophes as Sam is. The line between a whistle blower and a vindictive former employee might get blurry at times. In the end disgruntled former employees can say any number of things...

Some of it maybe due to privacy concerns. At a school welcome meeting, I was informed.... errr reminded by school representatives that an 18 year old student is a legal adult. As adults, they have full privacy rights. These rights are probably retained even when deceased. As a result, there...

As @Sundog implies, the level of training could depend on the size of the campus. The officers at my daughter's small private school are probably trained to the advanced security guard level. Meanwhile, UT Austin with 53,000 students and a location in the middle of a mega city that can be...

Traditionally, the Archangel Michael is said to be the angel with the closest resemblance to God. The Archangel Michael is usually depicted as killing Satan and one translation of "Michael" can evidently be rendered as "Like unto God" or something similar. In exploring your theory, I wonder...

Thanks. YHWH might explain the heavy consonant use as conservative Jewish tradition forbids writing out, or pronouncing the full name of the Divinity. (seriously doubt this guy is Jewish-rather he had just incorperated a tradition) believe that YHWH is the accepted abbreviation for the name...

The suspect's large neck tattoos look to be vaguely jn Hebrew script. One possible letter even seems to have a vowel indicator (I vaguely remember that both Hebrew and Arabic designate vowels with marking underneath the letter.) But.... none of the other possible Hebrew letters have vowel...

Possible, it could require multiple failures. Electronics governing critical flight displays (glass cockpits, sans analog dials) have double, and triple back ups that are independently wired. Thus, for a airliner cockpit to go "lights out" on displays, several failures would need to...

Or perhaps felt wronged by the religion as a whole? They then seek out and murder a visible symbol of that religion- in this case, a pastor?

That is a very good observation and would cover most people entering the forest. It looks like the murders occurred during the week after Memorial Day weekend and not during the weekend itself. Hopefully, this reduces the number of visitors to screen. The only exception in coverage that I can...

As a side note, as the airplane was making an ultra long distance flight, there would have been 3, or 4 pilots on board. Pilots have rest requirements similar to truckers. On ultra long distance flights, the pilots rest in a mini cabin and rotate to the cockpit. Ideally, the presence of an...

Some enemies might not fly large flags, but rather could be seething in silence over a "stolen GF". That a side, there could be several suspect types: - Marijuana growers with Cartel ambitions: As @otto points out, however, the area does not seem conducive to marijuana grows. - Drug...

Thanks, and I really appreciate the compliment. I"ll do my best to live up to it.

"Choke Point" is a term used by military and transportation industries to describe: - a relatively small area that large numbers of enemy soldiers must pass through to continue an attack. - a relatively small area that large numbers of say, trucks, trains, or aircraft must pass through to get...

As a side note, at one time Chula Vista had a reputation as being a safe city- despite some nay saying due to its location very close to the Mexican border. It would be interesting to know if she was a member of a local tribal group. San Diego county is home to a good number of autonomous...

In my megalopolis (DFW), teams come in two flavors: A. Rec Teams that are subsidized or supported by city rec centers. Cities here rarely sponsor their own leagues. Instead, they support private leagues that agree to certain "having fun" rules- of course, not everybody is "having fun". B...
