I just saw a "teaser" piece during the CBS Evening News promoting their
"investigation" on security at GA airports,

You have the power to do something about it. Something positive, proactive.

Got time? Call the local CBS affiliate. First thing in the morning the
assignment editor will be sending out crews to hit the day's top stories.
Someone will go to the statehouse, someone else will cover the trailer-house
fire, someone's hoping there's something happening today more interesting than
their city council members bickering over a sewer easement.

A pilot (or your friendly FBO operator, if he/she will do it) offering a tour
of the local GA facilities and a quickly-rehearsed list of the security
measures that have been standard for a long time will make an attractive
"companion piece" the local station can produce to localize the story.

They love that. It ties them to the national story. It's good video. And as per
your suggestion, they get to offer the surprising angle that the airport is NOT
a threat. They've made the city safe! They have a scoop!

Offer a ride to the reporter and/or camera person. Do a preflight and then
challenge them to steal your plane (don't tell 'em how it starts -- and keep
the key in your pocket). Introduce them to a few of the hangar-flyers who keep
an eye on folks that wander through, and give them a clue how pilots are aware
of things going on at their airport.

Anybody can do it. It's done every day. I'd do it myself, but the popular
weatherman at our local CBS affiliate is a GA pilot and I'd bet dinner he'll
have a local airport piece of his own done by the evening news.
