Video: Homeland Security chairman: Gyrocopter pilot was ‘going postal’

House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said Sunday that last week’s gyrocopter incident exposed a security concern around the nation’s capital.

“It exposes a vulnerability that the terrorists, I think, can exploit,” McCaul said on ABC’s “This Week.”

“I think part of the problem is these small, ultralight aircraft are very difficult to detect, can fly under the radar as this one did, or even the small UAV devices [drones], like the one we saw that was landed in the back yard of the White House. That is the real threat,” McCaul said.

“In this case, the guy was just going postal,” McCaul said on ABC, referring to the mailman who piloted the small aircraft, Doug Hughes, 61, who was said to be delivering letters to Congress. More
