"Michael Smerconish is saying what many Americans are thinking -- we need to have this
provocative debate."
- Sean Hannity, Hannity and Colmes, Fox News
"Michael Smerconish has produced a shocking, accurate and very readable contribution to the debate
surrounding airport security. Flying Blind reveals the depth of the problem we face and highlights
the need for a common sense policy that cannot be left to the bureaucracy."
- John Lehman, 9/11 Commissioner and former Secretary of the Navy
"To his credit, Michael Smerconish is not politically correct. He has written an important
work on a deadly topic. In bare-knuckles style, he delivers his message: our complacent
politically correct attitudes, misapplied to the war on terror, may kill us."
- Alice Hoglan, mother of 9/11 Flight 93 hero Mark Bingham
"Fasten your seatbelts and prepare to be enraged. In Flying Blind, Michael Smerconish
exposes how politically correct transportation bureaucrats put sensitivity over security --
and endanger us all for the sake of protecting 'diversity.' Smerconish makes clear that
to win in the War on Terror against enemies abroad, we must defeat enemies within. This
incisive book is a must-read for Washington policymakers and airline passengers."
- Michelle Malkin, nationally syndicated columnist and author of the New York Times
Bestseller Invasion
"Michael Smerconish better get some bodyguards. I don't know who will want to come
after him harder: al Qaeda or the TSA! Until this book, no one was willing to say
publicly what we all know privately: the hijackers on 9/11 were Muslims trained to kill
us by religious leaders who preach worldwide hate against America. And yet, we know
what they look like and we don't want to hold it against them! Thank you, Michael."
- Jim Cramer, Kudlow & Cramer, CNBC
"If you have any question about the condition of common sense in today's America, Michael
Smerconish has proven that it is surely dead. Flying Blind is a fascinating look at how
the forces that claim to be protecting our civil rights are actually putting us a greater
risk for another attack. Before you get on another aiplace, read this book."
- Glenn Beck, nationally syndicated radio host
"Flying Blind is a must read for air travelers, members of Congress, and everyone associated
with Homeland Security. America is at WAR! We must profile. We must forget about 'politically
correct.' We cannot let the enemy use our freedoms and laws to launch airplanes out of the sky
as missiles. Michael Smerconish is crying out to all of America to WAKE-UP before we BLOW-UP!"
- David A. Christian, America's most-decorated war veteran, and a recipient of seven purple hearts
