During the hearing, Inspector Peters got a little choked up
During the hearing, Inspector Peters got a little choked up as he described a conversation with another FAA employee in which that employee pointed at photos of Peters’ wife and children and told him that they were “what was important” and that he shouldn’t risk his own career and the career of his wife by trying to stop corruption at the FAA. He told congress that he was not a “disgruntled” employee and that he was trying to do what he felt was right.
