    yeah John roger that. I guess all they heard was 'stolen <br />airplane' and thought 'hero' as <br />they dropped their burger n fries to rush out to the airport, They <br />also did not know who John <br />and Martha King are either (whiskey Tango). what rock did <br />these numb walnuts crawl out <br />from under???<br />thank god they did not shoot them first and ask questions <br />later.

    yeah, this whole thing was freaking wierd. especially when it was reported stolen supposedly a year or two before this even happend. the kings' have a great lawsuit coming their way.

    The accepted procedure is to validate all the hits on a regular basis with the entering agency. (Usually annually) The rental car business has caused this procedure to evolve and work out the bugs. Also, the hit should have been removed the first time that plane was stopped by police on the ramp in 2009. Apparently that was not done. Also the tower had to know the airplane they were looking at with N50545 was a new 172 and not a (1968?) 150. They must have been in contact with the 4 police cars waiting by hangar 1 They should have relayed that it was a 172 displaying the numbers.<br />The embarrassed police should have spent a few minutes talking with the Kings after instead of trying to get out of there as quickly as possible. ( I wonder if all the recent publicity about the barefoot airplane thief caused some people in the tower, report distribution center and field jump to conclusion's. ) There will probably be a lot of names on the respondent list when this goes to civil court.

    I don't blame the cops for handling it the way they did. When they realized it was an error, if they apologize, they simply expose the force to a lawsuit so they are probably trained not to do so.<br />However, the agency that told them to do this needs some sunshine. These agencies are exactly what we don't need in a free society - none held responsible, none has to answer questions - hide behind the 'national security' flag. If it hadn't been the Kings, we never would have heard about it. Actually, the same thing happened a year earlier with that plane and we didn't hear about it.

    The Officers did their job professionally and by the book, this reflects the total ineptness of big government agencies. The government outfit that tagged them should have been doing there job and found that this was an old n number. The kicker is, it was flagged a year and a half earlier and it wasn't fixed! Unfortunately the only way to get some attention to this is for King's to sue the local goverment agency.

    And these people(big goverment) are going to be ruling our healthcare.

    Wow! You have health care?

    I love my U.S. government health care, Medicare. The only problem is, the waiting list is longer than 65 years for most citizens. They have to pay through the nose for private insurance.
