Summary: Experience with the Politics of Lying
Comment: I consider myself fortunate to have read "The Politics of Lying" by David Wise when it was first published at the time that I began my career as an airline pilot 30 years ago. The author's insight made it possible for me to understand much better the seemingly contradictory, illogical, malfunctioning government that I served as a Marine in [SE Asia]. I would also highly recommend "The Invisible Government" by David Wise to better understand how highly paid lobbyists for airlines and for defense contractors manage to raid the nation's tax revenues on behalf of their clients whenever necessary to compensate for their own mistakes without fear of enforcement of compliance issues. For instance, after the most disastrous day in aviation history on 9/11/2001, the FAA Rapid Response Team requested suggestions from the public concerning immediate actions that should be taken to protect the public from further aviation terrorism. As an airline Captain with many years of Boeing aircraft piloting experience, I suggested that aircraft be modified to provide the crew with sensor information about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in the cargo or clues about missiles being fired at the aircraft (e.g., TWA 800). In spite of more than a year of unpaid lobbying and my filing of a whistleblower claim, the aircraft manufacturers and airline operators have still managed to convince the government not to take any practical steps to mitigate the problem of unscreened cargo until an incident actually happens. The subject has been classified to hide the lack of progress. Meanwhile the [money] that would be required to modify 10,000 aircraft at [a price] is being wasted through airline subsidies that don't address this continuing risk to the American public.
