My email to NBC:
***************************
I read with disgust and contempt of your reporter's attempt to "expose"
security lapses at a St Louis airport.
The relentless and unfair "piling on" General Aviation to instill unwarranted
fear in a population that is basically ignorant about aviation is a disservice.
NBC News loses credibility when these stories are pursued for sensationalism
and ratings. Shame on you.
General Aviation had NOTHING to do with 911 or terrorism. Innocent law-abiding
pilots who earn a living flying are being unfairly scapegoated because we are a
small and un-influential constituency.
I have lost all my respect for your organization. Chet Huntley is spinning in
his grave.
