I've lived in this country for many years, paid my taxes, been a

Ugh.

I want to know when these kinds of regulations are going to start being
implemented for the boat training industry. And the truck driving industry.
And the driver education industry. How about the railroad training
industry?

IMHO, part of the problem is that's *only* been aviation that's been singled
out, and we're just not big enough to make a difference. No one else cares
about us, and we're not a large enough constituency for any politician to
take us seriously.

Seems like our best bet would be to simply start lobbying Congress and the
TSA to close up the "security holes" that exist in all the *other*
transportation industries. Once they start suffering under the same rules,
then we'll have some seriously significant allies for the fight.

Someone remind me...how long did it take the country to get through
McCarthyism?
