Customs Goons Assume the Role of the Nation's "Air Cops"?

In a story on NPR about how Customs is supposedly backing off is aggressive searching of light aircraft that have done nothing wrong to begin with, Eddie Young, who has a billboard-sized tile of "deputy assistant commissioner of Customs and Border Protection for Air and Marine Operations", said that his people are "the guardians of the nation's skies."

Really? Who died and left those assholes in charge?

This has been going on for awhile. I've mentioned before (though I can't find it right now) that Customs was fucking with the wrong group of people in going after owners and pilots of small airplanes.

We'll see if they change. But I'm thinking that they need a bit of de-funding.

(Also worth a read.)
