Such a simple idea: flight attendants who are trained to recognize signs of the horrific crime of human trafficking on international and domestic flights. I mean, who better to serve as the eyes and ears of homeland security than airline personnel!
Back in May, 2010, I first talked about the work of American Airlines flight attendant Sandra Fiorini, who, in conjunction with Deborah Sigmund from Innocents at Risk, had been informally raising awareness among her fellow flight attendants to this ever growing problem. Since then, due to their efforts, and with assistance from Nancy Rivard from the Airline Ambassadors International humanitarian aid organization, American has stepped up to the plate and will be offering this training to all its flight attendants. You’re going to be inspired by this story and I can’t wait to have them back to talk about this and other exciting developments.

And, last but not least, we’ve got our “Let’s Catch a Criminal” segment where I feature a different US Crime Stoppers group each week and maybe we can help them catch a bad guy. Tonight, I’ll be speaking with Jaime Deal, Executive Director of the Crime Stoppers of San Juan County, NM…the second oldest Crime Stoppers group in the nation.
IT’D BE A CRIME NOT TO LISTEN!
