FBI Agent Kevin Hogg:
June 18, 2011
THE SPEAKER
Bob Kennedy introduced the guest speaker,
FBI Agent Kevin Hogg. Kevin grew up in
LA and joined the FBI after graduating from
Cal State Fullerton and serving as a pilot in
the US Navy. He has been stationed at LAX
for last 12.5 yrs.
Kevin (Agent Hogg) told us that 65
million passengers a year pass through LAX,
and it requires over five thousand employees
to make it run. While most of these folks are
normal, there are some fruitcakes and that is
why he stays employed.
There was the guy found jacking off or
the gal giving blowjobs (to which several
members interrupted him to ask, “What airline
is that?”). Evidently, the longer the flight the
more time to get stupid. Most anonymous
calls about suspicious men come from their
pissed-off women who are trying to get them
in trouble!
A new major concern is people shining
lasers at pilots during approach when the
airplane is low and slow. They experience one
to two hits a night by bubbas with their buds,
or from teenage kids or guys over 40 still
living with their mom and dad.
Kevin once stopped a guy on EVA
airlines with modified shoes. The soles were
elongated and stuffed with gum and tissue
paper. He explained that he was actually short
and just wanted to look taller! Another guy,
later found not to be taking his meds, was
leaning over a gal in the seat next to him,
stroking her breasts and talking like a pirate
(aaaarrrrgg).
Kevin also talked about two wheel well
stowaways, one of whom was found frozen to
death. All in all, the brotherhood left with a
new appreciation of what goes on at LAX and
how the FBI is there to nab the bad guys (no,
not the TSA guy who just grabbed your nuts)
and protect the innocent traveler.
