This is because of the new sky net plan where a computer tracks all flights and has no problems with the millions of spy drones up in the sky.

Re: GOVERNMENT: Defenses Down!! CLOSING AIR TRAFFIC TOWERS
Getting rid of even one TSA thug is worth anything. Maybe Obama's budget cuts, which HE proposed, can be used to furlough HIM.
 Quoting: Mr. Weird


TSA screening employees have nothing to do with shutting down Air Traffic Control Towers...

Feb 28th - Pope officially steps down/Beatification process coming to a close

March 1st - Air Tower monitoring stations to be shut down in this so called Sequester...

This has the stench of another 9/11 hoax of external terrorists,in a pigs eye, more like internal for those who have eyes to see...

Sequester means: To "withdraw" those who typically monitor the safety of incoming Air Traffic,hm

Interesting INDEED that the word Sequester also entails this meaning in its full context;

Sequester: To separate from the owner for a time;take possession of the property of another until some CLAIM is paid or established; withdraw; seclude; to renounce,as a widow,any interest in the ESTATE of a husband...

OVER 100 Airt TRaffic Control Towers to CLOSE.

^List above^
 Quoting: pool

These seem to be secondary airstrips. The list names places that commuter flights and private jets land. Prior to clicking the link I thought Whoa! but these are aren't huge airports at risk. The rental car industry may get a boost if people have to fly into major airports and drive to their destination.

Because you are an idiot, or a schizophrenic with paranoid delusions.

Remember that guy who flew his Cessna into the IRS building in Texas? Probably not because even though he filled the thing with tanks of gas and propane, he only killed 1 or 2 people and didn't even come close to destroying his targeted building.

Fearing Cessna's crashing into you? You should be WAY more scared about getting T-Boned in the intersection down the road from your house.

But, you're stupid and full of fear, so go ahead and believe that a minor, trivial cut in gov't spending will result in planes literally falling from the sky.

NORAD monitors all air traffick over the north American continent and Mexico and have been doing so since NORAD was established!
Correction! NORAD has the technical capabilty to monitor all air traffick world wide and all incoming space objects!Did the FAA catch any of the abnormal air traffick on 9/11/2001? Hell No but NORAD would have if not for a executive overide of air traffick monitoring had not been handed down from the Bush white house for a 9/11/2001 aircraft attack drill done on the same day!
The point is the FAA did not catch shit and never will have the technical capability to monitor all air traffick if they had no budget cuts at all!

They are talking furloughing employees.
Here is the definition:
fur·lough
a. A leave of absence or vacation, especially one granted to a member of the armed forces.
b. A usually temporary layoff from work.

Notice this is not terminating 800,000 jobs it is just giving then a week off till they whip the general public into a frenzy thinking people are going to starve and babies will freeze in order to get what they want.

What makes our country more vulnerable is the current and future spending! ANY reduction will help!!!!

And future spending is out of control because the feds keep adding new programs,,, ie to feed the police state. Forget about nominal increases to old programs, it is the new ones they are instituting yearly that demand ever more money...

Get back to work?
Who? The elderly boomers?
The indulged x and y ers?
The gang bangers?
The ones in rehab or prison?
The exact fking problem is that nobody but the wets works anymore, and certainly not dear leader, unless freebee holidays are work.
Just remember, if youre given a 'free' holiday, you have to pay tax on it, you get a 1099 for it, yet I wonder how much tax dear leader pays of 1 billion dollars worth of travel and vacay rentals while his own home stays vacant?

There is one thing that stands out screaming in this manufactured scenario...

As in any case of planning for a WAR, a General in command would plan for the contingency of how to accommodate the needed landing areas for the invading forces...

Much like they did in Iraq, Afghanistan,etc.They set up landing ports,"staging areas with other foreign nation political allies,except here in the Americas they already have taken possession of these "STAGING AREAS"

I know there will be a BS flag on this one,history has an ironic way of repeating itself,especially when they have been practicing for the contingency of WAR here in the Americas

LAHOOD: IF YOU THINK AIR TRAVEL IS FRUSTRATING NOW JUST WAIT TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE IF SEQUESTER COMES INTO PLAY


Photo by Jason Thompson

By TALK RADIO NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON – The White House trotted out Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today to explain that the sequester will take a toll at many of the nation’s airports.

“This is very painful for us because it involves our employees,” he told reporters. “But it’s gonna be VERY painful for the flying public.”


Previously Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano warned of a one hour increase in waiting in line at airport security checkpoints as a result of the furloughing of TSA workers.

Re: GOVERNMENT: Defenses Down!! CLOSING AIR TRAFFIC TOWERS
Obama is knocking down our own walls of defense.

The Shadow-Fighting POTUS:


The main problem for the President, unfortunately, is the fact that the original provisions were initially proposed by the White House, not the Republicans.

The Budget Control Act of 2011

According to Star Watergate reporter Bob Woodward, it was indeed the White House which proposed the sequestration cuts as a way to finally get a debt limit increase which was signed into law by the President in August of 2011.

Jack Lew, the then White House Office of Management Director and White House Legislative Affairs Director Ron Nabors , at Obama's approval, went to Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who then put forth the proposal to the congressional Republicans.
