Claire McCaskill Took Action to Hide Travel on Private Plane From Public

Email records show FAA was asked to hide tracking data of Democratic senator's plane in April
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) took action earlier this year to make her family's private plane untrackable by the public, according to documents obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration.
McCaskill garnered much criticism ahead of her last reelection campaign over her use of a private jet at taxpayer expense that she demanded her husband "sell the damn plane." But they bought a new, more expensive plane shortly after she won that election. Now, as she gears up for her next election fight, they have taken action to limit scrutiny of the plane's use.
The company hired by McCaskill to operate the plane, a 2009 Pilatus PC-12/47E, wrote to the FAA earlier this year in April to ask that tracking information on the plane be blocked from the public, according to email records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Prior to 2013, private aircraft owners or operators had to present a "certified security concern" to the FAA if they wanted to block their aircraft data from public display on websites such as FlightAware.com, where McCaskill's plane could be tracked as recently as this year. However, changes made during the Obama administration removed this requirement and "make the aircraft blocking process as simple as possible."
Representatives for McCaskill did not respond to multiple inquiries into the reason for the request and whether it had to do with her upcoming election.

Even the planes in Missouri require safe spaces.

If she privately owns the plane, and she is paying for the expenses, I have no problem with this. However, if the American people are renting her plane from her at our expense for her to use, we should have the information on the plane's whereabouts.

It would be one thing if any of them actually served the people and actually worked...

Even if all the dirtbags are voted out, nothing is fixed unless we do term limits so they can't all lobby and do insider trading to become millionaires as they screw the people.

Not a fan but I get the sentiment......while not a fan, I don't hate the idea as much as I used to.

After the tarmac meeting between lynch and Clinton it’s hard for me to agree. And she wanted all records held from public which tells me it’s not a safety concern. If you’re a senator, you shouldn’t have much to hide. Especially where you’re spending your time.

I hope Mizzou does do better. Tony Monetti is my choice at the moment.

Didn't Pelosi catch some hell a few years back for basically the same thing?

Has to be done, the Swamp thrives on career politicians, the Swamp dies a slow death with term limits.

She is putrid. If she survives another election, Missouri needs to set itself on fire.
