That's a very valid point, especially the part about which outlook got the
first paragraphs (I didn't think about that). However, I only said it was
more objective than most of the articles I've read, not that it was a
totally objective piece. ;-)

Ultimately people are just scared of anything that flies post 9-11.
You can replace every statement made about GA with 'automobile.' The
difference is that most people are not pilots (that the hobby of the rich)
and more security sounds good.
Not to take anything away from the families that lost loved ones on
9-11 but trunks/vans/uhauls have been used multiple times before and after
9-11 to do far more (total) damage). But no one talks about restricting
who can rent a F250.
I still have enough faith in the system to believe that if we can ride
out the storm its only a matter of time before everyone moves onto
something else. The question is what rights will we as pilots (or for
that matter the nation as a whole) lost along the way.
