I hope there will be a follow up.

1)  The local FAA management said they had a waiver allowing this dangerous procedure.  They lied.  Who (if anybody) was disciplined for this ?

2) Who was disciplined for retaliating against Peter ?  In addition to preventing him from doing his job, they tried to get the Humane Society to take his dog. (Yes, it does sound unbelievable but it&amp;#39;s true.)

Until FAA management is held accountable for these types of actions we will depend on people of extrodinary courage like Peter to keep this system safe.
