Sen. Jim Banks (R-Indiana) is calling on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to ban Chinese nationals from receiving flight training at U.S. flight schools, saying they could become assets for China’s military. He says the Chinese military has a shortage of pilots. And they’re using American flight schools to fill the need. “Each Chinese citizen trained at an American flight school helps break through China’s pilot bottleneck,” he wrote in a letter to the TSA.
