It looks like there were warning signs which were ignored.
Don’t FFDOs go through additional vetting/training?

Don’t FFDOs go through additional vetting/training?
There's a reason "FFDO" is on the red flag list along with long sleeved pilot shirts and iPhone belt clips.
True.
I’m positive FFDOs do go through additional vetting/training…I’ve talked to several at the office.
Also, fortunately I’m not an FFDO…I aspired to be one when I resigned from the Cincinnati Police to return to Delta from pilot furlough in 2006…the wife unit did her own vetting and announced that I would be a total dumb ass if I were to apply to the program due to the fact that I lose stuff all the time…which included my body armor and badge when I was a Cincinnati Police Officer. She was pretty adamant that there was a good chance that I’d lose the FFDO “heater” at some point.
…like on my last trip…I lost one of my Hooters pens…but due to technologies, I have back up Hooters pens…
You didn't secure them in that Hooters fanny pack (which looks like it could fit sidearm, btw)?
Yes. There’s a robust background check.
