It could have been worse for the Delta Airlines pilot (or pilots) who were “detained” by the Boston FBI for 45 minutes Tuesday night in the latest colossal screw-up by the local G-men.It could have been much worse.The FBI could have detained the pilots the same way they detained the four guys from the North End named Peter Limone, Joe Salvati, Louie Greco and Henry Tameleo.The G-men “detained” those guys for 35-plus years, in prison, for a murder they didn’t even commit. Two of them were even “detained” on death row for years, and two died in prison after the FBI allowed them to be convicted, even though they knew they were innocent.Of course the FBI is now trying to deflect criticism from its latest black eye, saying it was in fact just assisting a Department of Defense exercise in, you know, role-playing.But the reality is summed up in the 11-second sound cut the Boston Police Department released about their dispatch of a police cruiser to the incident late Tuesday night or early ...

Years of rampant overtime abuse and pension fraud at the Long Island Rail Road should have served as a “warning sign” for Gov. Maura Healey, when choosing its former president as the next MBTA general manager, one fiscal watchdog said.Pointing to the soaring payroll costs that already plague the MBTA, MassFiscal spokesman Paul Craney said the public can expect more of the same, or perhaps worse, when Phillip Eng takes the reins of the region’s embattled transit agency on April 10.“I think what’s interesting is that Gov. Maura Healey picked someone that comes from a railroad system that clearly has incredible problems with costs and efficiency, to the point that it is the poster child of an agency that’s doing it wrong,” Craney said.“She didn’t pick someone that comes from a transit agency that is being innovative and efficient in how it’s spending its money.”Craney was referencing past reporting from the New York Times, which first highlighted massive disability fraud at Long Island...
