After experiencing a near-collision on a plane in which he was a passenger, frequent world traveler Jim Sensenbrenner got on the phone with the Federal Aviation Administration to demand action, WisPolitics.com reports:
"Upon landing at Reagan National Airport, I immediately called the FAA to alert them of the situation and requested that they examine the conditions that led to this near collision over a heavily populated area," Sensenbrenner said in a statement. "While no one ever wants to be in such a circumstance, I am pleased that the FAA acted quickly to identify the error with air traffic control operations."
Before anyone twists this, I don't wish Big Jim any harm.But if he can get that kind of action when he personally intervenes, maybe we should consider sending him on a fact-finding mission to Afghanistan. If he came under fire, he might call the Pentagon and end the war.
