"Aviation security expert" Steven Frischling brags about getting knife through airport security

Steven Frischling, referred to as an "aviation security expert" by The Telegraph, tweeted this image a a month ago of him holding a knife on the tarmac/apron:



When would he take a knife, even a Swiss Army knife, to an airport, much less take a photo of it like this? (Note the response to his picture.)

What the hell is wrong with this guy?

  2. have you seen his Twitter profile, where he claims "I figure out jigsaw puzzles for a living"? WTF this guy is ridiculous

  3. You should have RT'd and added @tsa to let them know of someone who habitually sneaks weapons past security.

  4. Maybe they just assume he is too stupid/weak to even know how to use it and let him have his little toy? And why is the blade broken? Knives aren't hard to use, and used properly, you don't break off the tip of a blade.

    Except for intelligence I would say Frischling qualifies as a sociopath. Usually sociopaths are brilliant people and he's stupid as hell.

  6. I love that when Frischling gets backed into a corner and is questioned about his ethics and the truth about his stories he immediately defaults to this every time...

    "I have had my photos appear as a full page in Life's Year in Pictures, Time's Year in Pictures and a double truck in Life's Annual Photo Album, as well as the cover of USA Today, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Washington Post, I have a sizable number of magazine covers to my credits and a decent roster of corporate clients I have shot for. So the fact that I used an iPhone instead of a 5D really doesn't matter to me. Know your tools, know how to use them and make them work for you. "

  9. Has he really had all those awards and magazine covers?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. He's never won a single award. I don't think he's had a magazine cover either, unless it were studio portraits when he worked for CRN. He used to contribute to the AP so a few of his photos were printed in different newspapers and magazines, but overall he's been a miserable failure as a photographer. No agency, newspaper or magazine will hire him.

  14. This is how ethical Steven Frischling is...making up shit to appear like you know what you're talking about is apparently acceptable in his world.

    In April of 2006, Frischling wrote on Flyertalk.com that he had been to the U.S. Embassy in the Green Zone in Iraq. The Green Zone is in Baghdad which is north of Basrah.

    "The US Embassy in the Green Zone in Iraq is heavily fortified, I have seen that from the inside and outside. It makes the US Embassy in Kuwait and Bahrain look like cake walks." http://bit.ly/1NdYRPZ

    Then in May of 2013, Frischling Tweeted that he had never been north of Basrah. The Green Zone is about 335 miles northwest of Basrah.

    "@NZAircraftFan @petchmo I have been there a few times, never north of Basrah. Very different 10 years ago though." http://bit.ly/1fYxMkM

  15. Frischling was at the airport in Basrah which isn't actually being IN Iraq. I've been to the airport in Amsterdam but don't ever say I have been to Amsterdam.

    Three minutes later he says they were lost in his many moves (by eviction)

    1. There's like 5 lies in that one sentence alone. Fish doesn't know travel, hasn't had a vast experience in planning anything, hasn't had a successful photography career and hasn't had extensive travel.

  21. Travel Strategist LOL. He's actually not that much of a traveler. First hint is that you brag about it.

  22. Steven Frischling just likes to ride on planes. He never stays anywhere he goes and I am pretty sure most of the time he says he goes to some country he actually never leaves the airport. He is more interested in getting airline status and frequent flier miles which is why he does these ridiculous trips that go around the world in 3 days for "work." No real photographer that I know works like this unless you're on a foreign trip with the president or something like that. Nobody ever hires a photographer to go to Paris for an hour and a half to take pictures of buildings. He is definitely not a traveler since he doesn't spend any time absorbing the culture of the places he goes. I'm sure he eats at McDonald's wherever he goes.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The thing is that he lies about that too - he doesn't have "top tier" airline status, nor does he have "millions of miles." I do know pro photographers who have been in Europe for a few days to take photos, but they're generally part of an ad campaign from a real advertising company. Fish isn't one of those.

      And with all of this travel he has done and has allegedly done - there's no reflection or absorption of the people around him or the sights or history of a place. He likes flying on planes because he gets to lie with the Flyertalk crowd and circlejerk about airline lounges in countries.

      And you're right - I don't see Fish ever eating anywhere other than a Western chain restaurant or leaving the airport without cowering in fear.

  23. Remembering 9/11

    http://www.mrt.com/import/article_69918aee-bf42-50b3-90d5-6c7369883e61.html

    "As luck would have it, when I pulled up to city hall, the sergeant directing traffic was somebody who I knew. Keep in mind, NYPD has over 40,000 law officers. And I happened to know the sergeant who was directing traffic. I had done a story where he was one of the subjects. What a bizarre twist. Luck was in my favor there.
    "Absolutely, in my favor.
    "I parked on the sidewalk. I asked him if I'd be towed, and he just looked at me and smiled and said, 'I don't think we're towing today.' My car was there when I came back - covered in dust but there."

    Yeah, of course, Frischling found a cop he knew of out the 40,000+ NYPD officers who just witnessed two building collapses that took the lives of thousands and was in a joking mood. Makes sense.

  29. 10:26, Frischling doesn't have friends. He only has people he hasn't defrauded yet. People can write any comment they want defending Frischling and we won't delete it. Look through the comments. That's a bunch of bullshit from the king of bullshit himself. The only ones we delete are the ones listing people's identifying information in your endless guessing game of who is running this blog. And the ones where you listed your own kids' names of course. And since you're so stupid, we know you're writing it. What a worthless piece of shit you are. By the way, since you "know" who FishFraud is, why not file a lawsuit for libel? You don't have the balls, do you? Because we all know everything we publish here is true and you will be exposed for the fraud you are, for the record.

    1. And you don't have friends, you only have people you've not bullied yet. See how that works? You're calling Fish a bad person when you are actually the bad person for writing this blog and causing him and his family problems. Having some mob of strangers call his kid's school and jobs? Who the hell does that other than a total bad person? You want him to own up to "what he is" so much, why don't you own up to the fact that you're a really really awful person for doing this. Oh wait, nevermind...you're saving the world...one anonymous Internet post at a time. Gotcha.

    2. No one's calling him or his kids at school. No one. Another figment of your imagination.

  30. "And you don't have friends" - Fish, what are you, a 10-year-old? Mentally it appears so.

    "you are actually the bad person for writing this blog and causing him and his family problems." - Uh, no Fish, that you be yourself and your family problems. The man (woman?) behind the curtain at this blog is only pointing out the fraud, deceit and theft that you continue to perpetrate.

    "Having some mob of strangers call his kid's school and jobs?" - 1) There is hardly a mob here. I think we number about three or four. Also, none of us want to bother your kids. All references to their identity or saying anything other than they exist gets scrubbed from this site because we care more about their welfare than you do. Seriously, you think a 14 or 15-year-old is really mature enough to be shooting spot news with mangled bodies?

    You know what, Fish? If you apologize, repent, atone and make right with the wedding people you ripped off, and stop the constant lying, I bet you dollars to donuts (remember when you used to post about donuts on SportsShooter years ago? That's when I first began to realize what an idiot you are) that this little blog goes away.

How was he able to get such a posh new crib (referenced from another post) and the owners not realize all the previous times he's been evicted from previous rentals? If his kids are so dirty, smelly and ones challenged is the school system not questioning anything? If people around town are making and passing all these judgements why is he still able to be part of the fire department or medical team (googled name and looked at photos). Sounds like an awful, lying, manipulating person by these posts. Something smells fishy...GRRROOOOSSSSS!
