We were delighted to read in today's Las Vegas Review-Journal that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has called for a review of the firing of federal air marshal whistleblowers Robert MacLean and Spencer Pickard. This is one of the recommendations we made in our report, Breaking the Sound Barrier: Experiences of Air Marshals Confirm Need for Reform at the OSC.
While the Obama Administration expressed support for such a retroactive review at a Senate hearing earlier this year, it's unclear if or when this will happen, so we applaud Sen. Reid for turning up the heat.
