Robert Deal, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Deal, former residents of Dolores, is a member of the Pinkerton guards, an organization which has been hired by Frontier Airlines to conduct a search of all passengers boarding all flights out of Walker Field at Grand Junction.
Anyone watching the 6 and 10 p.m. news cut of the Grand Junction TV on Wednesday Feb. 23 would have seen Robert searching passengers getting ready to board the plane. A small metal detector called a Magnetometer, a long thin instrument about 12 inches in length with a metal loop on the end, is passed over the passenger's body and will detect all metallic objects, including foil on gum and cigarettes. Robert attended school in Dolores and graduated from Dolores High School. His parents now reside in Mancos.
