Default ATC visit questions?? (Operation rain check)

A very valid point Slyvain!,
Maybe if we could get more of the left wing radicals to serve their
country we would not have to depend on foreign folks defending it? It's sad
that it happens, and it does. Most governements have no worry at all about
someone from another country fighting for them. I guess it goes to " let
some other sucker die for my country why should I" mentality.
And a local CFI was not allowed to tour the tower at TRI either, not a
citizen. Yep he could enlist in our military , as he probably could in about
any countries military.

Are noncitizens barred from =working= at ATC?

All controllers are citizens.


the funny thing though is that the soldiers or national
guards who sometimes guard these sensitive installations
and airports, in full battle gear, armed to the teeth,
do not have to be citizen...
