KNOXVILLE — The FBI has Pilot Flying headquarters on lockdown Monday afternoon. Neither the FBI nor a Pilot spokesman was immediately available for comment.

Media were barred from the Pilot campus, and the entrance was blocked. Pilot employees were being escorted off the corporate campus on Lonas Road.


Not sure what to make of this. Really weird.

Knoxville-based Pilot is the operator of the largest travel center network in North America.

Lots of weird shite going on today. Bombings, NKorea saying they will attack without notice, and now this?

Just got updated, but nothing of significance:

quote:

The Knoxville Police Department provided officers in support of the operation. “All I can say is that the FBI asked us to have some officers assist them with a search warrant,” Police Chief David Rausch said.

Oh shite. I hope the alphabet organizations don't have info that relates to fuel tankers. That would be scary as all get out.

Strange day. Human trafficking? Truck stops are notorious for prostitutes (I think. I heard that somewhere)

But seriously hope that accounting is all there is. Even though I know it supports all that is evil when I visit a Pilot...theyre just so damn pimp. I mean, they aren't Love's, but beats the hell out of a shell.

Most people 'cooperate' when the FBI arrives with a search warrant....

I talked to one of the managers at the Flying J by my house (my favorite gas station in town) and she said they didn't even know anything was going on until a customer told her and showed her his phone. Said corporate is being tight lipped as hell.
