A former FBI agent turned anti-Muslim extremist has received pushback from Southwest Airlines but not lost his right to fly on the airline after he tweeted a creepshot of an airline employee and labeled him dangerous, the Arizona Republic reports.


John Guandolo is a disgraced former FBI agent who was forced to resign after having an affair with an informant. He's received taxpayer dollars to provide "anti-jihadi" training to law enforcement officers in Arizona, leading to protests by the ACU and Muslim leaders.

He was headed to a conservative conference in Phoenix on Friday when he posted the photo.

"I wish this were shocking...a sharia adherent muslim (aka jihadi) at my plane," he wrote, adding the hashtag "#shariakills."

Guandolo has claimed the Las Vegas shooter is a member of ISIS and seemingly denied that moderate Muslims exist.

Southwest said the tweets violated their value and reported it to Twitter, but took no action against Guandolo as a customer.
