302: Steve Lazarus – Airplane Bad Behavior, Arson and Bomb Threat

Retired agent Steve Lazarus reviews his investigation of a flight attendant for disrupting the normal operations of two commercial flights. The flight attendant set a fire in the lavatory of a 50-passenger commuter aircraft, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing. He was also charged with phoning a gate at Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta just six days after the 9/11 terror attacks and threatening that the plane would blow up in the air and all passengers aboard the flight were going to die. Steve worked this case while assigned as the Atlanta Division's first full-time airport liaison agent. We also talk about Call Me Sonny, his new novel inspired by one of his real-life cases. Steve served in the FBI for twenty-two years.
