An American Airlines employee arrested and charged with sabotaging a plane that was about to take off with 150 people on board. Tom costello covers aviation for us tom, what more do we know about this reporter good morning. This happened back in july the mechanic is expected today in a federal court in miami. The fbi launched an investigation, with the help of federal air marshals, that not only leads to serious charges but highlights a very real threat to aviation security. Abdulmajeed marouf ahmed alani is a 31 year veteran of American Airlines with no reported history of trouble on thursday, the Airline Mechanic was charged with damaging, destroying, or disabling an aircraft by tampering with the air data module, or adm, which reports Critical Data to pilots. A boeing 737 like this one was scheduled to fly from miami to the bahamas on july 17th when the pilots noticed a problem on the ground, aborted the flight, and returned to the gate 150 passengers boarded another plane and completed their trip overnight, American Airlines released a statement in part, we are taking this matter very seriously. At the time of the incident, the aircraft was taken out of service, maintenance was performed, and after an inspection to ensure it was safe, the aircraft was returned to Service American notified federal law enforcement. According to Court Documents, the man said his intention was not to cause harm to the aircraft or its passengers instead, he said he was upset over a long simmering dispute between the airline and the mechanics union, and this affected him financially he tampered with the plane to have the flight cancelled to get overtime work. No matter the motive or intent, employees always pose a potential security concern the greatest vulnerability is always the insider threat. The challenge with the insider is they know the system. Reporter no indication which was terrorism related. No indication. It appears to stem out of this frustration over a fiveyear labor dispute. Nbc reached out to alanis family and got no response this idea of an insider attack, how much of a concern is that for federal authorities in 2017, the House Homeland Security committee issued a report warning about the dangers of inside jobs or inside threats involving an airline or airport employee every time i talk to the tsa, and even the airlines, they will tell you, Insider Threats remain a very top security concern.

When someone is sentenced for a serious crime, it is important to consider the suffering of the victims. But when the man and woman starts serving the sentence, there are others who suffer, their families for children of the incarcerated, a parents absence can take a toll. We visit add program to help these kids, and Officials Say it is making prisons safer. Reporter in californias central valley, they walk. A group of children out of place against the backdrop of watchtowers and fences topped with razor wire. Morning reporter this is a state prison, home to more than 3,000 of the states most serious criminal offenders for 360 days of the year, it can be one of the hardest places to serve time but for five days, there are smiles, laughter, even hugs. This is camp grace a summer camp unlike any other, designed to reconnect children with their fathers i feel very blessed to be able to be here with my kids. Reporter Jonathan Padilla is incarcerated for attempted murder by steering clear of trouble for a year, he and six other kids earned a spot in camp grace. For padilla, that means seeing his daughter, leilani, and son, jonathan jr. How did you qualify for this . No writeups dont get in trouble do good. Reporter this is an incentive to do good, id imagine. A big incentive to do good. Reporter there are no saints among the men here many are in for long sentences organizers say that the children shouldnt be punished along with their parents. For these five days, they can get to know their fathers. What do you tell your daughter you wish someone told you . To see what really matters in life families, education being among those. Reporter Karen Mcdaniel and green met in a prison visitors room while their husbands were incarcerated they saw the impact that had on their own children and decided to start camp grace. Is this a camp for the incarcerated, or is this a camp to the kids . For me, i think it benefits everyone it is a camp for the kids. Typically, when a child visits their incarcerated parent, they dont have the oneonone time visiting has strict rules. One hug and kiss at the beginning and the end. The fathers benefit, giving them a little bit of normalcy the fact these fathers remained discipline free and have earned this makes this prison safer that means every single correctional officer that walks through these gates is safer today because of this camp i had a lot of fun. Not only that, i guarantee you, not one of these children will ever spend one day incarcerated reporter tammy foss is the warden do you get the sense that there is a shift in this country regarding how we should view and treat inmates . I do. Since i started in 1996, its been a huge shift. Wed almost warehouse inmates. It is so important to give the rehabilitation part. Their crime doesnt define who they are, and they have the ability to change. By giving them the opportunity, i feel it gives them hope. They want to be better people. Reporter freeman is in for bank robbery this is his son, evan jr. s, second year at camp. To those who would look and say, these guys, they dont deserve to have this kind of time with their kids, what would you say to them . Theyre probably right. My kid deserves to have time with me. Whatever the reason why we here, were still people our kids are still kids. They need their dad in their Life Reporter in a place where the men have nothing but time, the five days slip by quickly. The happiness is fleeting. How hard is it, you being on the outside and him being on the inside really hard reporter whats the hardest part not being able to see him reporter how do you deal with that on a daily basis how do you, you know how do you cope its hard its hard. I know he needs these things im not there to provide them. Its hard, you know. Another thing for me, im in a cell by myself now, so i can cry when i want to cry you know reporter there are tears on the last day of camp final embraces, too. As the children are led home, their fathers call to them from the other side of the fence. Love you. Love you. Reporter the men must wait another year to earn a chance to be touched by grace. Gosh. Wow the organizers say theres another benefit, and it wasnt something i considered going into it. The kids when your dad or mother is sentenced to 10, 20, 30 years, and youre the child of an inmate, there is a stigma attached to that during the course of the summer camp, they form bonds with the other kids they become friends. They have like a their own social media together. They become besties with the other kids who have parents who are incarcerated. It is sensible, sensible things to do, and it seems to to have an incredible benefit. The kids have to wait a full year for the camp to start up. Can they visit they can visit. When you have a traditional visitation, you dont get the oneonone connection. Beautiful.
