Steve Danyluk wrote on CNN.com that the Obama administration did not follow proper protocol after the attempted bombing on Detroit-bound Flight 253 Christmas Day, despite Obama’s statement that, “once the suspect attempted to take down Flight 253, it’s clear Homeland Security and Aviation Security took all appropriate actions.”

Danyluk, a commercial airline pilot who was flying over the Atlantic for six hours during the same time as Flight 253, said that he did not receive any information regarding AbdulMutallab’s alleged terrorist attack until he landed, at which time he found a report on CNN through his iPhone.

This, says Danyluk, is a clear violation of the procedures supposed to be intiated in the event of a terror attempt, and is asking the Obama administration to review post-handling procedures in addition to the intelligence failures Obama has already begun to review. According to Danyluk, the federal Domestic Events Network–ultimately a responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security–was charged with communicating real-time threats to all commercial pilots. Danyluk asked, “So why, after eight years and billions of dollars, was the information concerning the incident available to me only on my iPhone?”

Clearly disgusted with the mishandling of the situation, he said, “I’m left with the sickening sense that after 9/11, the government spent horrific amounts of money to create the ‘mother of all’ pre-mishap plans, but never effectively tested it. Why? Because unlike the military, where commanding officers rise up through the ranks based on professional competency, our government operates on a different model.”
