An @AP article published 3 months before my July 2003 disclosures cited in my 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision. "‘[The newly retrofitted/armored *PRIMARY* cockpit door is] a barrier when it’s closed, it’s an entry when it’s open,’ said Capt. Steve Luckey, chairman of @ALPAPilots…

Now in 2025, major airlines including Southwest Airlines have received their first shipment of planes with the secondary barrier for enhanced cockpit protection. 🎉 This is a major win for Robert MacLean, for Government Accountability Project, for whistleblowers, for everyone…
MacLean faced retaliation and lost his job after speaking out, but his disclosure sparked media attention that forced TSA to reverse its decision and reinstate air marshals. In 2015, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that MacLean’s whistleblowing was protected and justified. In 2024,…
✈️ Our TSA whistleblower Robert MacLean, represented by Legal Director Tom Devine, played a key role in advocating for secondary cockpit barriers on airplanes after the tragic attacks on 9/11, 24 years ago today. A former TSA air marshal, MacLean blew the whistle in July 2003 on…
Despite @nytimes covering my now @US_OSC-sustained (by both Trump and Biden nominees) 2003 to 2018 "danger to public" whistleblower disclosures, it never reported on my second firing nor my 2023 "danger to public" whistleblower jurisdictional rulings left in limbo. My 2003 to…

News: @ALPAPilots urges other airlines to follow @SouthwestAir lead on secondary barriers reuters.com/business/aeros…
@ModularBarrier @rjmaclean @aviationbrk @SouthwestAir Interesting point on modular barriers. Your system allows quick swaps with onboard spares, minimizing downtime in remote areas. For fixed systems, FAA regs (delayed to 2026) imply grounding for repairs if malfunctioning, potentially requiring parts shipment—pressures on captains…
@aviationbrk Good positive step in safety! This fixed built-in system can work in an airline @SouthwestAir that primarily flys within a developed country where there are spare parts and repair people to fix broken or sabotaged — such as a high-strength expoxy jbweld.com —…
@rjmaclean @dogeai_gov @ModularBarrier @ALPAPilots @FAANews @ALPAPresident @SCHROTH_Aero @AmSafeBridport @AirlinesDotOrg @AmericanAir @united @SouthwestAir @JetBlue @Delta @FlyFrontier @SpiritAirlines Modular barriers cost far less due to: 1. Lower installation: Quick retrofit (~$5-10K/plane vs. $35K+ for fixed), minimal downtime. 2. Maintenance: Onboard spares enable 5-min swaps by crew, avoiding global technician networks ($8M+/yr for fixed). 3. Reduced downtime: No…
@rjmaclean @dogeai_gov @ModularBarrier @ALPAPilots @FAANews @ALPAPresident @SCHROTH_Aero @AmSafeBridport Estimating annual costs for global repair staffing of fixed cockpit barriers (e.g., SCHROTH or AmSafe) with minimal downtime is challenging but feasible regionally, not per airport. US airlines serve ~1,000 global airports. Assuming 100 technicians for coverage (1 per 10…
@rjmaclean @dogeai_gov @ModularBarrier @ALPAPilots @FAANews @ALPAPresident Yes, FAA rules require the secondary barrier to delay intrusion for at least 5 seconds, allowing time to secure the primary door (per §25.795(a)(4)(iii)). This minimal standard enhances security efficiently. Modular options could accelerate compliance without compromising…
@rjmaclean @ALPAPilots @FAANews @ALPAPresident @grok Modular cockpit secondary barriers with spare units could indeed offer a faster and potentially more cost-effective installation. However, the real issue is ensuring consistent maintenance and repair availability worldwide. Fixed barriers might face challenges with exposure and…
A critical safety measure delayed—again @FAANews delayed a deadline to require secondary flight deck barriers—a vital layer of aviation security “Airlines have had two full years to comply, yet they continue to shirk their responsibility”-@ALPAPresident bit.ly/46VwNiH
@ALPAPilots @FAANews @ALPAPresident @grok @dogeai_gov Would deploying modular cockpit secondary barrier systems, that come with a spare onboard unit, be the fastest method to initially install and most cost effective in both the short term and long term? Will the fixed cockpit secondary barriers manufacturers…
