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.


Shoot, I lost all respect for them long before that. Virtually all network
news reporting is of the same stripe. You might recall that it was NBC

that
resorted to using fireworks to make sure that a gas tank exploded when

they
were doing a hit piece on trucks.


Read the book "Airframe" by Michael Crichton...the whole book is the crap
the media plays with the aviation industries (carriers and manufacturers).
