NASA exposes FAA lies

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. — Anxious to avoid upsetting air
travelers, NASA is withholding results from an unprecedented
national survey of pilots that found safety problems like
near collisions and runway interference occur far more
frequently than the government previously recognized.

NASA gathered the information under an $8.5 million safety
project, through telephone interviews with roughly 24,000
commercial and general aviation pilots over nearly four
years. Since ending the interviews at the beginning of 2005
and shutting down the project completely more than one year
ago, the space agency has refused to divulge the results
publicly.Just last week, NASA ordered the contractor that
conducted the survey to purge all related data from its
computers.

The Associated Press learned about the NASA results from one
person familiar with the survey who spoke on condition of
anonymity because this person was not authorized to discuss
them.

Anonymity?
"Purge" data from computers?
Do ya think there is a slight possibility the FAA is lying
to the public?
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Last week, NASA ordered the contractor that conducted the
survey to purge all related data from its computers.
Congress intervened Monday, saying it will launch a formal
investigation and instruct NASA to keep all its data.
Griffin said he already was ordering that all survey data be
preserved.
