May i see your badge please?

It presumably pays to be polite with police.

The intimidators within their fraternal ranks especially love to hand out physical punishment & abuse.

Gotta watch your step or you'll likely live (or die) to reget it

American Dies at Incheon Airport After Service Staff Block Rescue Personnel

Service staff at Incheon International Airport yesterday essentially
killed a 48-year-old American man who�d collapsed in the
airport�s baggage terminal when they prevented emergency rescue
personnel dispatched from the airport fire station from entering the arrival
concourse.

A witness said emergency personnel tried to enter the arrival concourse
to assist the man, who�d stopped breathing, but were blocked by staff who
told them they could not. A scuffle ensued for over five minutes, after
which emergency staff entered through another way. Unfortunately, by
the time they reached the American, he was already dead.

Airport service staff, meanwhile, blamed the rescue personnel for not
properly explaining the situation at hand. The airport itself also blamed
the rescue personnel.

Air Traffic Control Failure Is Examined
By WOODY BAIRD, Associated Press Writer
Thu Oct 11, 2:19 PM ET

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Ron Carpenter and his fellow air traffic controllers were busy keeping more than 200 airplanes on course over seven states when their communication system crashed. Suddenly they couldn't talk to pilots or call for help.
"Somebody just pulled out a cell phone," Carpenter said. "Then everybody else says, `Hey, that's not a bad idea.'"

So at a major Federal Aviation Administration center, controllers were reduced to using their personal cell phones to ask other centers to help keep planes on course and avert disaster.

They succeeded, but now members of Congress want to know if the Memphis failure last month was an isolated breakdown or evidence of a design flaw in a $2.4 billion project to upgrade telecommunications at air-control centers and other FAA installations across the country.

The FAA blames the disruption on the failure of a major AT&T phone line, but critics say that the trouble is deeper � that the new communications network being installed lacks sufficient backups.

"It's engineered this way, and it's going to happen again," said Dave Spero, a vice president of the union representing FAA technicians.

During the breakdown, 100,000 square miles of airspace were closed off for more than three hours and flights around the country were canceled, delayed or diverted, adding to the woes of a flying public already fed up with disruptions.

The upgrade is called the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure project, or FTI. The prime contractor on the 15-year project is Florida-based Harris Corp., which said in September that nearly 90 percent of the FAA's entire system of more than 4,000 installations had been switched over.

The FAA told a congressional subcommittee that the Memphis outage was an AT&T problem and that an investigation was under way.
